Why Buy An Electric Forklift?
With the rise of e-commerce, the material handling market has experienced steady growth. From warehouses and employment, to equipment, the sector has been developing rapidly.
As warehouses get bigger and seek to move more material, there has been a concurrent growth in need for forklifts.
Traditionally, combustion-powered forkifts have served the market by providing excellent performance. However, electric forklifts have emerged as a viable (and sometimes superior) option.
Here are some key advantages:
Cost Savings
Environmental / "clean" / less pollution
Efficient
Cost savings are realized in multiple forms: electric forklifts have lower total life cycle costs, lower fuel costs, and are less expensive to maintain.
Environmental: battery-powered electric forklifts are superior in terms of air quality as there is no combustion or fumes.
Efficient: Electric forklifts are easy to operate and are comfortable, which decreases driver fatigue and increases productivity. They are also quiet, providing a pleasing work environment.
Counterbalance Forklift Trucks, Pallet Trucks, Reach Trucks, and Stackers are all available in electric versions.
In the past, electric forklifts may not have been suitable for very heavy, intense operations. But today's electric forklifts can perform literally side-by-side with their combustion counterparts.
So, when the time comes to decide which type of forklift to buy next (combustion or electric), consider the features and benefits of electric.
