Advantages of Electric Forklifts
January 17. 2023

1. Zero Tailpipe Emissions

Electric forklifts give off no harmful exhaust fumes like diesel or LPG forklifts do. This makes them ideal for indoor businesses, such as warehouses, food processing, or other industries sensitive to fumes. They are also more friendly to both your employees’ and the planet’s health, thanks to Zero emissions. 

2.Lower Overall Maintenance

Electric forklifts have lower maintenance overall, thanks to their lack of engine and transmission. Maintenance requirements extend to their battery, drive motors, and the other moving components such as the mast. This means fewer parts to service and replace and potentially less downtime for your company. 

3.Tighter Turning Radius

Compared to standard LPG forklifts, electric forklifts often feature greater maneuverability and tighter turning radiuses. They are more responsive to operator control and can help reduce damage to workspace and products as a result. This improved maneuverability can also allow for a more optimized warehouse and better business performance.

4.Improved Visibility

Electric forklifts have better rear visibility than LPG powered forklifts, thanks to their lack of LP tank. The battery sits beneath the operator seat and acts as the forklift counterweight.
