Electronic Forklift

Electronic forklifts are one of the most popular choices of trucks to buy. This is mainly due to the versatility of the machines as well as their low noise output. Electronic forklifts are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. When maintaining your used electric forklift, battery care is of the upmost of importance. This is the main reason all our electronic forklift trucks come with 12-month onsite battery warranty, offering you complete peace of mind. All our electronic forklifts for sale or hire come with a fully tested battery charger with all models which can be either single or three phases to suit your electrical supply. We have many electronic used electric forklifts in stock at any one time, including both three wheel and four-wheel machines.

Battery electric forklifts are the most environmentally friendly. They are fume free in operation, giving off no harmful emissions. They are also quiet in use, and due to the weight and concentrated mass of the battery, they are generally more manoeuvrable than engine powered equivalents, due to the battery weight acting as an effective counterbalance, enabling the truck to be more compact in size. The cost of recharging the battery overnight on low rate tariff is considerably less than replacing gas bottles or filling a tank with diesel fuel.

Electronic forklift trucks are generally easier to drive than engine powered machines, because they only have an accelerator and a brake pedal unless they are drastically powered. There is no clutch pedal or inching pedal, and the operator does not have to “rev” the engine for fast lift or hill starting. The maintenance and servicing costs of an Electronic forklift is considerably less than engine powered alternatives.

Electronic forklifts in our range

Electric forklift trucks are the green environmental option for materials handling. They are ideally suited to an indoor environment. They can be used outdoors for brief spells as long as the conditions are dry.

Electric forklifts do not emit any fumes when in use, are almost silent in operation and offer fantastic torque similar to diesel trucks.

Electric forklifts are generally easier and smoother to drive when compared to the gas and diesel variants as there is no clutch or engine revving involved.

Using electronic forklifts

There are a few drawbacks of using electronic forklifts, for example they cannot be used while the batteries are being charged, limited run times between charging and long charge times.

The electric forklifts have a higher initial purchase cost compared to the diesel and gas ones due to the batteries and the chargers but can pay back in running cost as they are the cheapest to run and generally cheaper to maintain with less moving parts.

Charging must however be carried out in a well ventilated as the batteries emit gasses whilst charging.
