4 Reasons to Convert to Electric Forklifts
Beat rising fuel costs and lower your maintenance by converting to electric forklifts. Below are 4 reasons to consider converting to electric forklifts.
Electric forklifts produce zero emissions including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, or oxides of nitrogen – all of which can be harmful to your workers and the environment. Electric lift trucks support green energy initiatives.
2. Better Ergonomics
Electric forklifts reduce fatigue by lowering vibrations and noise. They also do not require tank changing, resulting in fewer physical demands for your operators.
3. Improved Productivity
Electric forklifts offer more efficient run times, allowing for multi-shift continuous use. They also offer better charging due to faster technology.
4. Fewer Repairs
Electric forklifts have fewer moving parts to maintain and require fewer tests, eliminating the need for forklift emissions testing and correction costs.
