To be competitive in today’s markets, you need a cleaner, “greener,” but efficient product. Forklifts are no different. Leading manufacturers are doing more R & D to meet customers’ needs for more powerful electric lift trucks that will meet tough application requirements, reduce the carbon footprint and improve productivity. Electric forklifts clearly are more environmentally friendly than their internal combustion counterparts, are becoming equally powerful and can cost thousands less to operate. In fact, compared to a forklift with an internal combustion engine, electric forklifts can be as much as 75% cheaper to own & operate over their useful life.
