Saudi Arabia Electric Forklift Case Study | 3.5-ton Electric Forklift with Rotary Pusher for Flour Mill

In the Middle Eastern food processing industry, electric forklifts are widely used for loading and unloading raw materials and finished products due to their cleanliness, stability, and suitability for indoor operations. Recently, we successfully partnered with a food company in Saudi Arabia to provide their flour mill with a 3.5-ton electric forklift and rotary pusher solution, and the project has officially entered the testing phase.

I. Client Background: Saudi Food Industry End-User
This client is a large-scale food industry end-user from Saudi Arabia, primarily engaged in flour processing and warehousing logistics.
The contact person was the company’s senior purchasing manager, who has extensive experience in equipment procurement and has very high requirements for product performance, technical parameters, and project scalability.

II. Project Background: Two Projects, Testing Leads to Long-Term Order
The client currently has two independent projects, both planning to use electric forklifts for loading and unloading operations in their flour mill.

The procurement plan is very clear:

• Each project plans to purchase 10 electric forklifts in the future.
• The initial purchase will be 2 electric forklifts + 2 rotary pushers for testing.
• All subsequent orders depend on the actual testing results of the forklifts and attachments.

Therefore, this cooperation is not only a delivery of equipment, but also a crucial evaluation stage for subsequent large-scale electric forklift orders.

III. Usage Scenarios: Loading and unloading in a flour mill, requiring high stability.

The customer’s core usage scenarios are:

• Pallet loading and unloading of finished flour products
• High-frequency handling within warehouses
• High cleanliness and safety standards required by the food industry.

For this situation, we highly recommend a 3.5-ton electric forklift paired with a rotary pusher to achieve efficient, accurate, and safe loading and unloading of palletized goods.

IV. Final Confirmed Solution: CPD35F Electric Forklift + Customized Rotary Pusher
1. Electric Forklift Parameters

• Product Name: Electric Forklift
• Model: CPD35F
• Lifting Capacity: 3.5 tons
• Lifting Height: 5 meters
• Mast Type: Class 2 Mast
• Voltage: 440V 60Hz Three-phase
• Battery Type: Lithium Battery
• Fork Length: 1070mm
• Color: Standard Color
• Quantity: 2 units

This 3.5-ton electric forklift model offers ample power and smooth operation, making it ideal for long-term continuous operation in food factories.

2. Rotary Pusher (Customized)
To match the customer’s actual cargo and pallet dimensions, the rotary pusher is custom-made to customer specifications:

•  Cargo Dimensions: 1180 × 1180 × 1250 mm
• Cargo Weight: 1.5 tons
• Pallet Dimensions: 1200 × 1200 mm
• Compatible Forklift: 3.5 tons, lifting height 5 meters
• Pallet Fork Hole Spacing: 250mm
• Quantity: 2 units

The rotary pusher can complete the rotation and push operation without tilting the forklift, making it ideal for the efficient loading and unloading of bagged or boxed products such as flour and grain.

V. Packaging and Delivery Method

• Packaging Method: Unpackaged (Standard Export Method)
• Suitable for full container load (FCL) shipping, reducing packaging costs
• Ensuring the safety of equipment during transport on Middle East routes

VI. Customer Focus: Test Results Determine Future Orders

The customer clearly stated during the communication process that:
The two electric forklifts and rotary pushers purchased this time will be used as prototypes for testing.

The key evaluation will be on the equipment’s performance in a flour mill in terms of:

• Stability
• Operating efficiency
• Attachment compatibility
• Overall performance of the electric forkliftIf the test results meet expectations, a procurement plan of more than 10 units per project will be initiated directly.
