Indoor operation scenarios in different regions hide distinct "hidden needs" — high-temperature warehouses in South America test battery heat resistance, narrow-aisle warehouses in Europe require extreme flexibility, and humid environments in Southeast Asia challenge equipment corrosion resistance. Through practical experience in these three regions, Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use have summarized what customers didn’t ask but must know, each directly affecting whether the equipment can "be used immediately upon arrival".
I. South America: High temperature + unstable voltage? The "tough design" of Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use
Two hidden pain points in South American warehouses (such as in Brazil and Argentina), which customers rarely mention but have a significant impact:
Batteries "baked" by high temperatures: In São Paulo, warehouse temperatures often reach 38°C in summer. The battery life of ordinary electric forklifts shrinks by 30% under high temperatures. An e-commerce warehouse once suffered a $5,000 loss due to battery bulging and replacement.
Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use (HWCPD-20) solution: The battery pack is equipped with heat dissipation fins and a smart temperature control system, with only 10% battery life attenuation at 38°C; the shell uses flame-retardant materials, passing Brazilian INMETRO certification, with no fire risk under high temperatures. Field test in a clothing warehouse in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: After 10 hours of continuous operation, the remaining power is still 25%, running 2 more trips than local brands.
Voltage "jumping" constantly: In some parts of South America, grid voltage fluctuates greatly (220V±20%), and ordinary chargers are easily burned. Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use come standard with a wide-voltage adapter (180-240V), which automatically stabilizes voltage during fluctuations, eliminating the need for additional voltage regulators. Feedback from a food warehouse in Buenos Aires, Argentina: "We used to burn 2 chargers monthly, but this one hasn’t had any issues in half a year."
II. Europe: Narrow aisles + strict environmental regulations? The "compliant flexibility" of Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use
Core needs of European warehouses (such as in Germany and Italy) are hidden in details, with high standards that customers don’t explicitly state:
Aisles narrow enough to "touch walls": Aisles in small German warehouses are often only 1.8 meters wide. Ordinary forklifts with a 3.5-meter turning radius have to reverse repeatedly, reducing efficiency by 50%. Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use (HWCPD-15) have a turning radius of only 2.7 meters and a body width of 1.05 meters, allowing a single U-turn in 1.8-meter aisles; the folded mast height is ≤1.9 meters, adapting to the low ceilings of old European warehouses. Field test in a red wine warehouse in Milan, Italy: Using it in 2-meter aisles, it moves 30 more pallets daily than before, without damaging a single bottle.
Environmental regulations "checking" details: The EU has strict requirements for equipment carbon emissions and noise (noise ≤65 decibels), and ordinary electric forklifts are often fined for excessive noise. Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use adopt silent motors + shock-absorbing tires, with a measured noise level of 62 decibels, complying with EU EN 16228 standards; the battery uses cadmium-free design, passing EU REACH certification. A German electronics workshop successfully passed environmental audits after using it.
III. Southeast Asia: Humidity + many cold storage facilities? The "durability adaptability" of Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use
Environmental challenges in Southeast Asian warehouses (such as in Thailand and Malaysia) lie in humidity and temperature differences:
Humidity "rusting" equipment: Warehouse humidity in Bangkok reaches 90% during the rainy season. Metal parts of ordinary forklifts rust in 3 months, and hydraulic system failure rates increase by 40%. Key components (masts, hinges) of Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use undergo double anti-corrosion treatment (galvanizing + electrophoresis), and the hydraulic oil uses anti-emulsification type (water separation performance ≥40 minutes). Field test in an electronics factory in Rayong, Thailand: After 1 year of use, metal parts show no rust, and the hydraulic system has zero failures.
Cold storage "freezing" battery life: There is high demand for cold storage (-18°C) for seafood and pharmaceuticals in Southeast Asia. The battery life of ordinary forklifts shrinks by 40% at low temperatures. Hengwang Electric Forklifts for Indoor Use (HWCPD-20L) have battery packs with insulation layers + low-temperature activation technology, with only 15% battery life attenuation at -18°C; they automatically preheat during charging to ensure normal charging and discharging at low temperatures. Feedback from a seafood cold storage in Penang, Malaysia: "Previously, forklifts could only run for 4 hours in cold storage, but this one can run for 8 hours, just covering one shift."
