China as a manufacturing country, in the ultra-large heavy long material handling warehousing has always had a high demand, but the domestic logistics equipment in this field has been a blank state, enterprises can only rely on imported vehicles. High acquisition costs + long waiting period for how many enterprises to deter, logistics efficiency once stagnant.

The emergence of Zowell multi-directional forklift/ side loader has broken a lot of constraints, and given domestic enterprises with heavy-duty handling needs for long materials, such as aluminum profiles, curtain walls and panels, a new choice. This article is the actual application of it in a domestic wood structure whole building enterprise, presenting an example of efficient handling of ultra-long and heavy-duty materials.

01

Project Background

The client is an integrated supplier specializing in modern wood-frame monolithic buildings with systematic R&D, design and construction capabilities, and all technologies and services have reached the leading level in the industry. The enterprise's buildings have been recognized by domestic and foreign project applicants for their advantages of short construction period, high rate of housing and energy saving and environmental protection.

Customer Pain Points

Logistics is one of the great challenges faced by large timber construction enterprises. In the handling process, professional logistics equipment is needed to ensure the integrity of the goods and the efficiency of sorting, handling and stacking. In order to solve the logistics problems, the enterprise joins hands with Zhuo Yi intelligent forklift for logistics upgrade.

Part.

1

Oversized materials + difficult handling action, it is easy to produce visual blind spot, easy to cause personal and property damage in the process of handling;

Part.

2

In order to ensure the stability of the material pile, when completing the indoor and outdoor stacking, it is necessary to ensure precise stacking, and the equipment with insufficient flexibility needs to repeatedly adjust the position, which significantly extends the handling operation time.

Part.

3

Frequent indoor and outdoor transfer operations will inevitably pass through sloping road surfaces and potholes, and if the equipment is not stable enough, the chance of damage to wooden materials is too high.

Part.

2

It have the ability to move in multiple directions, such as forward, backward, sideways and 360° rotation.

Regardless of whether it is in a narrow working area outdoors or indoors, it can improve the accuracy of the stacking work while reducing the number of repositioning, and complete the handling and stacking of large tonnages of wood more quickly and excellently.

Part.

3

The double patented technology of all-wheel drive and hydraulic synchronized cross-steering + all solid rubber tires, to deal with indoor and outdoor transfer with a smooth body posture, reducing the risk of material damage.

Part.

4

Based on the unique patented technology, it has excellent side-to-side straight-line driving ability, and can efficiently complete the stacking operation of heavy and long materials with only 2,750mm aisle, which significantly reduces the cost of warehousing land for enterprises.

Zowell is well aware of the risks and challenges of the long material industry in the transportation process, and after targeted research and development, this reliable, efficient and safe domestic warehousing equipment came into being. The operation of side loader/ multi-directional forklift has also brought a high degree of mobility and flexibility to the heavy and long material handling work of the enterprise, which improves the logistics efficiency, breaks through the limitations of warehousing, and reduces the comprehensive logistics operation cost.

Thanks to the customer's choice to let the side loader/ multi-directional forklift shows its skills, Zowell will continue to carry out technological innovation to provide customers with more competitive logistics solutions.
