Forklifts are indispensable vehicles in warehouse logistics work. Large forklifts have a common configuration that uses a combustion engine to create energy to drive the machine's hydraulic system. Due to the characteristics of diesel engines, a large amount of energy is wasted and harmful gases are emitted every day. Especially with millions of older-generation forklifts and construction machines being used in developing countries, the above problem is even more serious while immediately replacing them with new generation machines is impossible. To solve this, the solution is to design and manufacture an additional device cluster to save fuel and reduce emissions. It is both economically and environmentally viable with the right technology. This article proposes the structure and working principle of an additional hydraulic device cluster to increase the working efficiency of the above types of forklifts. Based on building a mathematical model of the mechanical-hydraulic system during the lowering and lifting processes when applying the solution, the main parameters of the process were surveyed. The solution applied on a 3.5 tons forklift shows that the renewable energy percentage in one lowering and lifting cycle is 65.5%. The amount of diesel saved in a year is 2057 liters, corresponding to the one of CO2, CH4 and N2O emissions removed by 5.55 tons, 223 grams and 326 grams, respectively. The proposed device cluster installation is easy with older-generation forklifts and can also be applied in the production of new forklifts.
