Forklift environmental protection starts with parts

　　 To EIA (Environmental Assessment), a forklift should not only be measured and evaluated from the beginning of the use of a new vehicle, but also should be closely monitored from the very first moment of its assembly. For a truly socially responsible forklift manufacturer, if its products are to make a difference in environmental protection, it needs to control the source of parts procurement, integrate upstream and downstream resources, and minimize potential threats to the environment.

　　Select the parts suppliers that meet the requirements

　　Almost all lithium pallet truck companies purchase parts according to the design requirements of the drawings for a certain model of product, and then assemble and test them together. Constantly discover problems and require technological innovation and rectification for some parts suppliers, until the final mature product is formed and then mass-produced and introduced to the market. To assemble a new forklift, a large number of different parts need to be purchased. For example, the power system, drive/transmission system, electronic control system, hydraulic system, etc. are all provided by professional suppliers. The forklift manufacturer acts as an exterior design company and assembly plant responsible for marketing and after-sales service. However, the quality of a forklift after it leaves the factory and the length of its use can be reflected in the quality of each accessory in the hands of consumers. This requires manufacturers to strictly select suppliers that meet the requirements.

To put it simply, good quality forklifts are generally longer and more durable than poor quality forklifts. The latter has many parts due to short life and many failures, which need to be replaced frequently, which results in low efficiency of forklifts, and increases in labor costs and energy consumption. The direct consequence is the destruction of environmental protection and the waste of social resources.

　　parts suppliers for EIA

　　 As mentioned above, a responsible forklift manufacturer with long-term strategic planning, after rigorously selecting parts suppliers, let it be a long-term cooperation Partners, while shouldering the social responsibility of environmental protection, they need their parts suppliers to shoulder the responsibility together. The following measures can be taken;

　　1, evaluation

　　 For example, does the supplier of the internal combustion forklift power system meet the national and exporting country’s standards? Are the products produced by rubber and plastic parts suppliers using the latest environmentally friendly materials, and how to recycle them under high temperature and high pressure wear and aging? Has the power and starting battery manufacturer obtained the local environmental assessment certificate and the processing procedures for its products after they are delivered for use and scrapped? Does the quality and grade of the oil supplier's oil meet the specifications? and many more.

　　2. Encourage innovation

　　 In the United States, an authoritative survey shows that users are interested in material handling technology. It mentioned that nearly three-quarters (71%) of the survey respondents claimed that reducing costs is the biggest challenge their company faces in material handling. To meet this challenge, the material handling industry is actively developing new technologies. This shows that, as the most important equipment in the material handling industry, the innovative technology of forklifts will become more and more important in the future. The reason is that the new technology can not only improve the efficiency of forklifts and reduce user costs, but also contribute to environmental protection.

The benefits of 　　EIA to Chinese lithium pallet truck manufacturers

　　1. Social responsibility and honor

　　 Compared with electronics and automobiles, the forklift industry is in many industries in China China is considered a relatively small industry. At the beginning of 2011, 36 Chinese environmental protection organizations issued reports stating that Apple failed to address concerns about pollution from its equipment parts supply factories and workers’ health issues. Can the forklift industry also have such an investigation organization to conduct detailed investigations on potential major polluters and their parts suppliers in the lithium pallet truck industry in China? It goes without saying that the result is not optimistic.

　　 In fact, putting environmental protection on the agenda and actively implementing it is the embodiment of a company’s sense of social responsibility and honor, and a symbol of the company’s soft power.

　　2. Improving technical strength and sustainable development

　　 The emphasis on environmental protection means that forklift manufacturers must integrate upstream and downstream enterprises and improve the green mark of their component suppliers. And in the after-sales service of products, strengthen the understanding of agents about products and improve the level of environmental protection services. This can create a rule-based and complete supply chain for users, so that the company can develop benign and sustainable.
