Electric Forklifts Operate With The Use Of Rechargeable Lithium Batteries, Keeping Them Operational For More Than 10 Hours A Day

Packseven, one of the largest Brazilian companies in the flexible packaging sector, invests in electric forklifts for its production processes. Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and non-methane hydrocarbons are essential for the storage and transportation of goods.

The goal is to limit the emission of these and other toxic gases that harm the environment, such as carbon monoxide (CO) and non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHC). Just as BYD brought the 100% electric VLT to Bahia as part of an innovative urban mobility project.

According to Packseven, it has been studying sustainable systems and closely regulating all operations, from the transformation of resin to the creation of the product, and collects waste at all levels of industrialization. Electric forklifts are introduced to promote this cycle.

“We are focused on promoting continuous improvement in all processes. Our goal is to preserve the quality of our products by incorporating sustainability into our operations. The use of electric forklifts in our warehouses is essential to reduce our carbon footprint,” explains Kléber Àvila, an executive at Packseven.

Autonomy and Other Features of These Electric Forklifts

The equipment is powered by a rechargeable lithium battery, which, when used for more than 10 hours daily, minimizes annual damage equivalent to 257 trees. In addition to being operable on any type of surface, from smooth floors to more irregular surfaces like concrete or asphalt, it has greater movement precision, which reduces overall risks with the same efficiency as combustion forklifts, thus increasing process efficiency. Effective for all parts.

Workers benefit from working in a quieter environment, as electric forklifts are silent, without diesel smell, in addition to providing greater ergonomics and safety for everyone who operates them and those nearby. “Our idea is that changing our routines and behaviors is necessary to achieve the future we envision. Vila claims that if everyone fulfills their ecological obligations, we will have a greener, more sustainable world with new opportunities,” says Ávila.
