Compact Forklifts for Indoor Material Handling
Workshops, stockrooms, cold storage ante-rooms and retail back-of-house areas share the same requirements: zero emissions, low noise, smooth floors and tight spaces. Compact electric forklifts are built exactly for this - solid tires that will not mark floors, quiet motors and bodies that fit through standard doorways.
The problems this solves

Will an electric forklift fit through a standard doorway?
Compact models have a lowered mast and body width suited to most industrial doorways. Measure your lowest doorway and confirm in the RFQ so we can verify the exact fit.
Is an electric forklift suitable for cold storage?
For cold storage ante-rooms and chilled (not deep-freeze) areas, electric trucks work well; lithium batteries handle low temperatures better than lead-acid. For deep-freeze tunnels, tell us your temperature range in the RFQ for a specific recommendation.
