The economic value created by an off-road forklift is affected by various factors, including the working scenario, usage frequency, improvement in work efficiency, and savings in labor costs. The following is a specific analysis:
Improving work efficiency: When an off-road forklift operates in complex terrains, it can quickly transport goods from one place to another. For example, in a mine, assuming that manual handling of ores can achieve a daily handling volume of about 5 to 10 tons per person, while an off-road forklift can handle 50 to 100 tons or more per day. This greatly improves the efficiency of ore handling, increases the output of the enterprise, and thus brings more economic benefits.
Saving labor costs: Take a construction site as an example. Without an off-road forklift, a large number of laborers may be required to handle building materials. An off-road forklift can replace the handling work of 5 to 10 workers. Calculated based on a monthly salary of 5,000 to 8,000 yuan per person, it can save labor costs of 25,000 to 80,000 yuan per month.
Expanding the business scope: Owning an off-road forklift allows for undertaking projects or businesses in more complex terrains. For instance, if a logistics enterprise has an off-road forklift, it can participate in logistics distribution businesses in remote mountainous areas or regions with poor road conditions, opening up new markets and bringing additional business revenues. It is assumed that the newly added business volume due to this can bring a profit of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan per year.
Reducing goods losses: The operation of an off-road forklift is relatively standardized, and it can transport goods more smoothly. Compared with manual handling or other unsuitable handling methods, it can reduce the damage rate of goods. For example, when handling logs in a forest farm, using an off-road forklift can reduce the collisions and damages of logs during the handling process. It is assumed that the cost savings due to the reduction in goods losses can be about 50,000 to 100,000 yuan per year.
Overall, the economic value created by an off-road forklift each year may be several hundred thousand yuan or even higher. Of course, if the off-road forklift has a low usage frequency or the working scenario does not fully utilize its advantages, the economic value created will be relatively limited.
