Lithium-ion battery-powered forklift trucks offer several benefits over traditional forklifts powered by lead-acid batteries or internal combustion engines:
Longer Operating Time: Lithium-ion batteries have a higher energy density than lead-acid batteries, which means they can store more energy in the same space. This allows forklifts to operate for longer without need to recharge or swap batteries.
Faster Charging: Lithium-ion batteries can be charged much faster than lead-acid batteries, which can take several hours to recharge. Some lithium-ion batteries can be charged in as little as 1-2 hours, allowing forklifts to spend more time in operation.
Reduced Maintenance: Lithium-ion require less maintenance than lead-acid batteries, which need to regularly have their acid levels checked. Lithium-ion batteries are less likely to leak, spill or produce hazardous fumes, making them safer and more environment friendly.
Improved Performance: Lithium-ion batteries can deliver higher power output and maintain consistent performance throughout their life cycle, while lead-acid batteries may experience voltage drop and reduced power output as they discharge.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Although lithium-ion batteries have a higher upfront cost than lead-acid batteries, they can last longer and require less maintenance, resulting in lower total cost of ownership over the life of the forklift.

LPG forklifts are generally a cost-effective option. They are less expensive to buy, the fuel is cleaner than diesel,
LPG forklifts can be used both indoors and outdoors, making them a versatile option for many different types of application. They can be refuelled much faster than charging an electric forklift enabling use for extended periods of time without interruption.
With high power output, LPG forklifts can lift and move heavy loads, making them a great option for manufacturing and warehouse operations.
Due to their eco-friendly nature and low noise generation - Electric forklifts are known for their high precision and smooth operations, which can be beneficial for businesses that require efficient and safe material handling in enclosed spaces such as warehouses and factories.
Our electric forklifts can be used indoors and outdoors thanks to their IP rating.
When choosing an electric forklift, it is important to consider specific needs, such as the weight and size of the loads you need to move, the height of the shelving or storage areas, and the type of terrain the forklift will operate on.
If you are considering purchasing an electric forklift it is always helpful to have guidance when making such an important decision - consult with one of our expert dealers to determine the best type of forklift for your business.
Diesel forklifts are known for their high power and torque, which makes them well-suited for heavy-duty work. They are generally more durable than electric or gas forklifts and are more resistant to bad weather, so best suited to working outdoors.
Whilst emission control technologies such as diesel particulate filters or selective catalytic reduction reduce the amount of emissions, if you are considering a diesel forklift, it's important to make sure that it meets local emission regulations as well as the weight and size of the loads you will be lifting, the terrain and conditions of your work site, and the maintenance and operating costs of the forklift.
Ultimately, the best way to determine which type of forklift is right for your needs is to consult with one of our knowledgeable dealers who can help you evaluate your requirements and recommend the most appropriate equipment for your business.
Our warehouse forklifts and pallet trucks are being utilised in many different industries to make operations more efficient, effective and safe. When choosing the right option for a warehouse, it's important to consider factors such as load capacity, lift height, manoeuvrability, and operating environment. It's also important to make sure that the forklift is compatible with the types of pallets and goods that will be handled.
If you are unsure about which forklift, reach or pallet truck to choose, it's a good idea to contact one of our expert dealers who can provide guidance and advice based on your specific needs and requirements. They can help you select the right forklift for your operation and ensure that it is properly maintained and serviced over time.
