Electric forklift units make up nearly sixty percent of the whole material handling market. Powering these models are extremely heavy lead-acid batteries. Due to their immense weight, these batteries naturally offer much of the counterweight.



The counterbalanced kind of forklifts have been classed as Class 1 forklifts by the ITA. Class 1 normally refers to electric forklifts made for general use and stand-up counterbalanced forklifts. Although the first cost of an electric forklift is more than IC forklifts, electric units are cheaper to use eventually. This is due to their lower fuel and maintenance expenses.



The majority of the electric rider trucks manufactured and engineered in North America are made for moving material within 4 walls. Electric forklifts have traditionally been limited to indoor use with surfaces that are clean and smooth. With the launch of some new Class 1 items, it is becoming more and more possible to use electric rider units in certain outdoor applications.



Because of the fact that electric lift truck models provide no harmful emissions, they are normally chosen for indoor applications when compared to IC lift trucks. Electric units can complete a full 8 hour shift on one battery charge and are really quiet when in operation. Electric model batteries weigh approximately 3,000 pounds. The job of reloading, recharging and removing the batteries could be cumbersome and time consuming. This situation normally happens at a battery charging zone or an area that is particularly used for handling batteries. There are evolving fast charging technologies that will be available on the market and these new systems are changing the battery charging method.



The Right Fit

Using the right size of forklift to do the specific operation is important to any business application. The application itself should always dictate which product is selected.



Clients are always looking for methods to reduce their operating expenses and find more efficient work practices that help lower these expenses, while also improving their production. Using the wrong size of lift truck can really slow things down and have a big impact on the bottom line and profitability of a company, while negatively affecting the productivity on the jobsite.



A good forklift dealer will be able to help if you are unsure about the specific kind of forklift you need. They will ask you correct questions which will allow you to make a correct choice. Many dealerships provide rentals of their machines also and this is a really great way to try before you commit to such a big purchase. It is also a nice way to try different units out to see which ones you and your drivers are the most comfortable with and which ones bring you the best production.
