Electric forklifts can significantly impact cost and space savings by virtue of being more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. However, looking at the last few years, companies using forklifts for material handling have focused on finding alternative forms of energy to power them.
To some extent, internal combustion forklifts were replaced by electric forklifts, which are now efficient and perform well. The power of an electric solution allows you not only to move heavy loads, but also offers your company some versatility and the opportunity to use green electricity to manage your moves in an environmentally friendly way.
So let’s analyze the real advantages of these solutions, summarized in the following 5 points.
(1) Zero emissions, creating a healthier working environment
Electricity produces no emissions, and if you choose green electricity, your carbon footprint will be completely reduced. Not only will it benefit the external environment, but also warehouses and operators who will have a healthier and more productive work environment.
Plus, all of this translates into cost savings, as low-energy trucks only use the energy they need, reducing energy costs; no ventilation, so heating costs less, and no more exhaust or toxic fumes.
Also, if green hydrogen is used, it is a more environmentally friendly energy solution.
Even if you opt for fuel cells, you can reduce emissions because hydrogen trucks emit only water and heat.
(2) Performance safety
The electric forklift is equipped with an enhanced regenerative braking system. Take your foot off the accelerator and the carriage will stop immediately. The control software then allows the operator to move accurately and quickly.
All counterweights come standard with an Active Stability System, which ensures the stability of the trolley. Hence, the security of the warehouse. Finally, lithium-ion forklifts save even more time, even during lunch breaks, they can be recharged at any time, optimizing downtime.
(3) Reduce the noise and make the operator more comfortable
Electric forklifts are very quiet. The reduction of noise in the warehouse is an extremely significant advantage. It makes it easier for operators and pedestrians to hear other important sounds, such as alarms from other machines, horns or colleagues.
It is of great benefit to the safety and health of the personnel working in the warehouse.
Loud noises can be distracting, causing headaches and even stress. Prolonged exposure, as we know, can cause hearing damage and lead to diseases that affect the ears more or less severely, most commonly across the country.
(4) Reduce operating costs
Buying a truck with a lithium-ion battery is definitely more expensive than a diesel or internal combustion engine truck. However, if you view the purchase as a long-term investment, it's easy to understand the advantages involved:
Reduced operating costs due to less maintenance intervention;
●Save fuel, fossil fuels are more expensive than electricity.
●No need for more space as a separate ventilated charging room
●More budget for other activities
Higher availability of in-service forklifts
