While most container terminals typically rely on only five heavy-duty forklifts for every 40 or so container handlers, this equipment can be a good starting point. That is because in some cases, electrification of this forklift equipment is more mature relative to container handling equipment with much higher capacities.

How to electrify container handling equipment?

For electrification of container handling equipment and other port equipment, it is important to not only look at the investment costs and total costs of ownership, but it is also important to regard the electricity grid capacity within port areas. If this is not possible, contact with the electricity network operator is necessary on forehand.

While most container terminals typically rely on only five heavy-duty forklifts for every 40 or so container handlers, this equipment can be a good starting point.

How can ports reduce energy costs?

ESSOP has explored two ways in which ports can minimize their energy costs by using energy storage: • Optimising how to use PV solar generation to offset grid electricity. The wholesale price of energy varies every half-hour, and on a time-of-day tariff this variation is passed onto users.
