The importance of electric trucks in the logistics industry

The importance of electric pallet trucks in the logistics industry

The logistics park has a large amount of goods that need to be loaded, unloaded, sorted, transported and distributed every day. These goods are simply sorted manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Logistics parks usually choose to use electric pallet trucks for sorting and transportation of goods, which is labor-saving and efficient.

1. Loading and unloading supports and connects with other logistics activities

Loading, unloading and handling operations are required during packaging, transportation, storage, processing and distribution. Therefore, loading and unloading handling is attached to other logistics activities, but it has indispensable characteristics. In the logistics process, each position movement of the goods is realized by loading and unloading, and the transfer between each link is also connected by loading and unloading. Without the support and connection of loading, unloading and handling, the logistics system would be disrupted.

2. The speed of loading and unloading affects the speed of logistics

The frequency of loading and unloading operations is much higher than that of other logistics activities. The speed of loading and unloading and the time it takes are important factors that determine the speed of logistics.

3. The quality of loading and unloading is directly related to the quality of logistics

In the logistics process, the goods have to be loaded and unloaded many times, and the loading and unloading operations often require direct contact with the goods. Therefore, this is the main link in the logistics process that causes damage to the goods, loss, loss, mixing and other losses. Not only that, loading and unloading is also related to the safety of transportation and storage, the effective use of the load and volume of the means of transportation, and the degree of effective utilization of the warehouse capacity. Therefore, the quality of loading and unloading is directly related to the quality of the entire logistics.

4. Loading, unloading and handling are related to the entire logistics cost

In my country, the loading and unloading operation cost of railway transportation now accounts for about 20% of the transportation cost, while the shipping cost is as high as about 40%. It can be seen that the proportion of loading, unloading and handling fees in the entire logistics cost is quite high. The way to reduce the cost of loading, unloading and handling is to adopt modern machinery and equipment, implement scientific management, and improve operational efficiency.
