Is it appropriate to renovate the old electric stacker or buy a new one?
The repair and maintenance of electric stacker is a problem that enterprises and drivers are very concerned about. For friends who have long used electric stacker, no matter what the forklift price is, it is very noteworthy. The repair and maintenance of forklifts will affect many aspects, such as the cost of repair, the time required and the work arrangement. So, is it appropriate to completely renovate the old electric stacker that has been used for a long time or buy a new one? Next, the electric forklift manufacturer will talk about this topic.

When should we decide whether to repair the old forklift or buy a new one? If there is noise in the fork, drive axle, steering axle or other parts of the vehicle body during the operation of the electric stacker, attention must be paid to it. In case of poor braking and insensitive steering system, it is also necessary to repair or replace it as soon as possible to avoid potential safety hazards. The operating parts of the forklift have large clearance and serious wear, which need attention. The electric forklift manufacturer suggested that, no matter what the forklift price is, if the enterprise is short of funds and has a small budget, it can consider renovating the old forklift. If the budget is sufficient, the forklift can be replaced. In general, it is more cost-effective to renovate the old forklift, and the driver does not have to run in with the forklift for a long time. However, the service life of the renovated old forklift will not be as long as that of the new one, and its performance will certainly not be so superior. This still needs comprehensive consideration by enterprises.
What are the advantages of renovating the old electric stacker? First of all, improve the overall condition of the electric stacker and reduce the cost through thorough renovation. Secondly, refurbishing old forklifts can reduce the number of idle electric stacker, improve the utilization efficiency of forklifts, reduce the use cost of electric stacker, and reduce the workload of managers. In addition, renovating the electric stacker can improve the safety of the forklift and avoid unnecessary personal injury and property loss. The electric forklift manufacturer told us that, no matter what the forklift price is, under normal conditions, the service life of a electric stacker is 5 years. The service life of the fully renovated electric stacker will be extended by 30-50%.

If you buy a new electric stacker, you can further improve your work efficiency, and it also saves many steps such as finding professional personnel for inspection and maintenance. You just need to pay and wait for delivery, which is easier. However, no matter what the forklift price is, the cost will rise sharply, and it may cause resource waste. In general, the specific method to choose depends on the enterprise's own needs and various conditions.
