📊 Detailed Comparison Table: Semi-Electric vs. Full-Electric Forklifts
| Criteria | Semi-Electric Forklift | Full-Electric Forklift |
|---|---|---|
| Lifting Function | Electric motor + hydraulic system | Electric motor + hydraulic system |
| Movement Function | Manual (pushed/pulled by human force) | Automatic (powered by electric motor) |
| Power Source | 12V or 24V battery | 24V/48V battery or Lithium-ion battery |
| Lifting Capacity | 500kg – 2000kg | 1000kg – 3000kg (or more) |
| Lifting Height | 1.6m – 3.5m | 2m – 6m (some models up to 12m) |
| Lifting Speed | Average (due to smaller motor capacity) | Fast (stronger motor) |
| Travel Speed | Depends on human strength | 4 – 6 km/h (adjustable) |
| Control Technology | Simple switches, lift/lower buttons | Throttle, digital control panel, LCD display |
| Wheel Type | PU or load-bearing rubber | PU/rubber with shock absorption system |
| Safety System | Mechanical brake, power cut-off switch | Electronic brake, horn, warning lights, speed limiter, sensors |
| Continuous Operation Capability | Low – medium (suitable for intermittent use) | High – designed for continuous operation |
| Operator Requirement | Requires pushing, no special skill needed | Basic training required |
| Energy Consumption Level | Low | Medium – high (due to electric lift and movement) |
| Investment Cost | Low (approx. 20 – 50 million VND) | High (approx. 100 – 300 million VND or more) |
| Maintenance/Repair Cost | Low, easy to maintain | Higher, with complex electronic components |
| Suitable Operating Space | Small warehouse, flat surface, short distances | Medium to large warehouse, requires wider aisles |
| Customization/Upgradability | Low | Can integrate AGV, automatic sensors, IoT, etc. |
| Average Lifespan | 3 – 5 years | 5 – 10 years (longer with good maintenance) |
| Practical Applications | Supermarkets, shops, small warehouses, small & medium factories | Logistics warehouses, large factories, industrial zones, distribution centers |
