Guchen Low Voltage Compressors: Optimized Solutions for Electric Forklifts

For years, forklift operators have faced challenges in maintaining comfort due to the lack of efficient air conditioning systems inside their cabins. Various factors contribute to this issue: the extreme operating demands of forklifts, limited space within the engine or battery compartments that often cannot accommodate a conventional air conditioning compressor, and the compact cabin design that restricts the integration of any evaporator unit. Additionally, power supply limitations, typically 12V, 24V, 48V, or 80V in electric forklifts, have historically made it difficult to find suitable air conditioning solutions, as these voltage levels are not common in the automotive HVAC market.
At Guchen Industry, we specialize in designing and supplying low-voltage electric scroll compressors that are perfectly suited for electric forklifts and similar industrial machinery. By focusing on reliable and efficient compressor technology, we enable forklift manufacturers and aftermarket providers to implement effective HVAC solutions, even in challenging operating conditions.
 

Compact and Efficient: Tailored for Forklift Applications

Our low-voltage scroll compressors provide the essential foundation for efficient air conditioning systems in electric forklifts. These compressors are compact, lightweight, and designed to operate seamlessly in forklifts where space and power are limited. Whether integrated into an existing system or used as part of an OEM assembly line, our compressors ensure high performance and durability under demanding conditions.

Flexible Integration:
We understand that forklifts come with diverse designs and space constraints. That’s why our compressors are optimized for both rooftop and split system air conditioning solutions:

• Rooftop Applications: The 12V electric compressors are compact enough to fit into rooftop air conditioning units, providing effective cooling and heating without requiring significant cabin modifications. Their lightweight design helps maintain vehicle stability and balance.

• Split System Applications: For forklifts with limited space, our compressors can be used as part of split systems where the evaporator and condenser units are positioned separately. The compressor can be installed near the battery compartment, on the vehicle counterweight, or on the forklift’s roof, ensuring flexibility to meet specific installation requirements.

 

Customer Inquiries: Real-World Applications

We frequently receive inquiries from customers seeking reliable cooling solutions for their electric forklifts and industrial applications. Here are two recent examples:

Cooling System for Forklift LiFePo4 Batteries:

• "I require a cooling system for forklift LiFePo4 batteries. Our battery sizes range from 24V, 48V, and 80V. Please advise on the correct cooling system and the installation process."
• Our team at Guchen Industry provides expert advice on selecting the right compressor and cooling system for different battery configurations. With our flexible 24V and 48V A/C compressors, we can help customer design solutions that keep LiFePo4 batteries operating efficiently and safely.

  Air Conditioning for Electric Bus Applications:

• "Our company manufactures lithium batteries for electric forklifts. The city where we live is a tourism center, and there are buses for tourism purposes intensively. We want to make an electric bus parking air conditioner for buses."
• Our scroll compressors are ideal for supporting integrated air conditioning systems in electric buses. Their low energy consumption and robust performance make them an excellent foundation for parking AC solutions.

These examples highlight the versatility and adaptability of our compressors, which are trusted by customers worldwide for diverse applications.
 

Reliable Performance Under Harsh Conditions

Forklifts often operate in environments that expose components to significant shocks, vibrations, and extreme temperatures. Our electric scroll compressors are engineered to withstand these challenges while maintaining consistent cooling and heating performance.
Key features include:
High Efficiency: Optimized for low energy consumption to extend battery life.
Taking GC20A12 model for example:
Robust Design: Durable components ensure performance under shocks and vibrations.
  Temperature Tolerance: Operates reliably in extreme conditions, including ambient temperatures exceeding +65°C.
Guchen compressors deliver smooth, quiet operation and are ideal for maintaining cabin comfort during long shifts in warehouses, distribution centers, and outdoor industrial settings.
 

Enhancing Operator Comfort and Productivity

Operator comfort is a critical factor in forklift performance and safety. Studies show that a comfortable working environment can significantly improve productivity and reduce operator fatigue during extended shifts. Our low-voltage scroll compressors provide the foundation for effective HVAC systems that ensure a stable, comfortable cabin temperature.
By enabling reliable air conditioning in electric forklifts, Guchen electric compressors support:
Increased Productivity: Comfortable operators work more efficiently.
  Improved Safety: Stable cabin temperatures reduce fatigue-related risks.
Enhanced Equipment Value: Modern HVAC systems improve forklift functionality and operator satisfaction.
