Electric Forklifts – Efficient, Quiet, and Reliable
We are seeing a greater and greater demand all the time for electric forklifts. Everyday there are operations making the switch to electric forklifts from LP Gas, Diesel or handling material by hand. There are lots of great reasons for a company to use electric material handling equipment to name a few:
- 1. Noise Pollution - Electric Forklifts operate almost with no noise at all
- 2. No Fumes - The battery cells are closed off and there is no smell to go with an electric forklift like there is with Gasoline, Diesel or LP Gas
- 3. Lower Maintenance costs - A forklift battery charge take 8 hours and gives you 6-7 Hours of actual operation time per charge on a new battery, compare that to buying and storing Gas, Diesel or Propane. Also there are far less components that have high service intervals in the powertrain of a forklift so you save on planned maintenance and the electric machines tend to be far more reliable.
- 4. More Options for Narrow Aisles - Electric forklifts are typically built with more compact designs and tighter turning capabilities, making them ideal for warehouses and facilities with narrow aisles where maximizing storage space and maneuverability is essential.
Electric forklifts can be expensive to purchase new, and lead times are often long. However, we have found that there are many high quality pre owned machines available that simply need proper servicing to be put back into operation. This allows businesses to get to work quickly without committing a large portion of their working capital to a single piece of equipment.
At Miller Equipment, we only work with brands we trust and that have proven their reliability over time. Every electric forklift we offer goes through a thorough reconditioning process for both the machine and the battery, so when your equipment arrives it is ready to perform.
