Electric Forklifts for Logistics and Distribution Centers
Distribution centers and 3PL operations need forklifts that load and unload trucks all day without downtime. Electric counterbalance models from 2 to 3 tons deliver the capacity and travel performance for dock work, with running costs well below diesel - and no exhaust in enclosed dock areas.

Are electric forklifts fast enough for dock work?
The 3 ton model delivers travel and lift performance comparable to diesel trucks of the same class, with no exhaust in enclosed bays. Exact figures are confirmed during quotation.
What is the running cost difference vs diesel?
