Electric Forklifts Can Electrify Your Bottom Line
The future of forklifts is safer, quieter and more efficient, thanks to electric technology. Advances in motors, batteries and charging technology have given rise to electric forklifts that can rival and even exceed the performance of nearly any internal combustion forklift in nearly any application. More importantly, electric forklifts bring added benefits that make the transition a more attractive proposition.
Lower operating expenses. Modern electric units can cost substantially less to operate than their internal combustion counterparts.
Reduce maintenance. Electric models have fewer moving parts and require no regular fluid or filter changes, so maintenance costs are significantly lower, too.
Improve workplace safety. Electric models are quieter and don't produce emissions. There's also no need to handle or store flammable fuels like gasoline, propane or diesel — or worry about fuels leaking.
Enjoy superior performance. Thanks to the introduction of AC motors and fast charging, electric forklifts can handle the toughest jobs. Newer models can even support loads up to 44,000 pounds. Typically, a single overnight charge will keep your battery working all day long. They can operate outdoors as long as the forklift is capable of navigating uneven terrain and operating in inclement weather.
Going electric with your forklifts can reduce operating costs for the life of the unit, more than offsetting its higher upfront costs. Electric forklifts are also better for the health and safety of your employees. They get the job done and reduce emissions to help you reach sustainability goals in the process.
