Electric Forklifts

What is an electric forklift?

Electric forklifts are as the name suggests, forklifts powered by an electric engine rather than a diesel or petrol powered motor. Electricity is usually fed to the engine via onboard batteries, which can be recharged between use. Alternatively, some electric forklifts absorb power via a cable plugged into a wall socket.

Benefits of electric forklifts include low running costs, quiet operation, and lesser environmental impact.

Electric forklifts most commonly come in a counterbalance design, which features two prongs at the front for lifting and lowering loads, as well as a ‘counterweight’ at the back for balancing the cargo’s weight. However, other models designed for specific purposes are available.
