There are several benefits associated with electric forklifts, hence why they’re one of the most popular forklift types the industry has to offer. There are numerous advantages that come with using an electric forklift either instead of or in addition to other forklift fuel types. Those benefits include, but is not limited to, the following:
They’re easily manoeuvrable – electric forklifts can be operated easily indoors, outside, on rough, loose or uneven terrain and in and around tight spaces and narrow aisles. Coming in a range of sizes and lifting and reaching capabilities, a trained forklift operator will have no trouble driving an electric forklift, no matter how big or small the vehicle is.
They offer an ergonomic driving experience – electric forktrucks are designed with operator comfortability in mind. With high, ergonomically-designed backrests, conveniently-placed buttons and controls and a straightforward recharging process that doesn’t require bending down or bending over for long periods of time, an electric forklift will help to ensure the safety of your operators at all times.
They don’t give off any emissions – the fact that electric forklifts don’t give off any emissions makes them incredibly eco-friendly, helping to reduce your carbon footprint whilst you do what you do best. This also means that they can be used inside with absolute peace of mind as pedestrians won’t have to worry about inhaling any fumes.
They have low running & maintenance costs – as they run on electricity, it means less moving parts to worry about. This makes maintenance extremely simple and cost-effective. It also won’t be as expensive to charge as it would be to refuel a diesel or LPG forklift. It’s an incredibly convenient option for those looking for complete ease as an electric charging point will always be available. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about buying more fuel, giving you one less thing to think about.
Replacement batteries are easy to source – if, in the unlikely event, that an electric forklift battery breaks down, then it’s exceptionally easy for a brand new battery to be sourced, bought and fitted. While there might be an initial cost, if your machine isn’t under any warranty, it’s far more affordable than repairing or replacing a diesel or LPG forklift.
They can be used both indoors and outside – as they give off zero emissions, electric forklifts can be used both inside and outdoors, no matter the application or the industry you work in. Electric forklifts are impressively powerful, allowing the vehicle to travel across rough, loose or uneven surfaces with very little trouble.
They can operate in small, compact spaces – as they come in a variety of sizes, electric forklifts can navigate in and around small, compact spaces. With small turning radiuses, it’ll make short work of manoeuvring around even the tightest of corners and the narrowest of aisles.
