Top 10 good reasons you should choose a lithium forklift truck

6th March 2020

The cost of fuel is eliminated, saving approximately £12,600 in propane over 5 years using a 2.5 ton capacity forklift 6 hours a day, 5 days a week *Estimated Cost Savings
On–site fuel storage is eliminated, which reduces liability
Spend less on maintenance - lithium lift trucks don’t have engines, transmissions or radiators. Also there are fewer waste fluids to dispose of - no engine, transmission or coolant fluid changes to worry about
When placed into the right application, the lithium forklift will usually have the lowest total cost of ownership when compared with diesel and propane
In the design of the lithium forklift, braking happens automatically and electrically as soon as the operator’s foot is removed from the throttle resulting in less brake wear
Operator productivity is often higher because there are typically fewer movements of hands, arms and feet required to operate an electric lift truck
Capacity ratings and stability are usually better at high lifting heights, partly due to a lower centre of gravity
Turning radius specifications are typically better which can increase storage capacity, reduce product and truck damage, and increase productivity
Lithium forklifts have zero tailpipe emissions creating safer working conditions for employees and releasing less pollutants into the environment
Lithium forklifts produce less noise during operation which results in a better and safer work environment for employees
