Job. - To move 5000X50kg bags to mixing machine per day
6 feeding points
1400X1500mm cross way, 18 bags per pallet.
278 (approx) feeding times for Forklift per shift (10 hours)

So 27 (approx) Feeding runs per hour (Transport from storage area to feeder is below 1min)

1) I am planing on using 01 NISSAN 2.5 Ton Diesel trucks for the above feeding propouse. can it handle the work capacity / load ?

2) for the out put from the mixing to be handled by a 2.5 ton and to be stacked 02 heigh or loaded to be transported. (Loading run/stacking run less than 1min)

3) is a electric truck sutable for such application since there will be lot of breaking/stoping (AC regenerative) and long runing hours ?
Will the dust get into the electronics ?
Battery life ?
but the fuel cost ? meantinence ? (Electric is cheaper ?)

Will 02 Diesel trucks(New) able to handle the work load (using good FL operators) ?

Any sugestions considering the above application ?

Thank you
