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.
For instance, terminals can pilot a single electric container handler or trial electric alternatives for some of their lower-capacity equipment before transitioning additional units. 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.
While there is currently a significant cost differential between container handling equipment fueled with diesel and alternatives powered by electric motors, as more electric-powered equipment enters the market, economies of scale will help drive parity.
A typical container handler has a lifespan of about 10 years in a port setting, so if CARB's 2036 target becomes a mandate, operations in that state will still have an equipment lifecycle or two before needing to shift.
