Battery electric forklifts

Battery electric forklifts

Battery electric forklifts are most suited for indoor use. Advantages include reduced running costs, no fumes and quiet operation.

Counter Balance

Counter balance electric forklifts come in three and four wheel varieties. Three wheel varieties are best suited for compact environments where a smaller turning circle is required, whilst four wheel allows for greater lift capacities over two tonne. Counter balance electric forklifts offer the following: 

  • 1.5 to 5 tonne capacities
  • Lift heights ranging from 4m to 6.5m
  • Ideal for flameproofing for hazardous areas
  • Reduced running costs (no fuel requirements)
  • Quiet operation
  • Ideal for indoor due to zero fumes

High Reach

High reach forklifts are best suited for warehouse applications with racking, flat surfaces and compact environments. They are available in sit down and stand on options. Both options come in moving masts and pantograph varieties. High reach electric forklifts offer the following: 

  • 1.4 to 2.5 tonne capacities
  • Ideal for high lifting requirements with lift heights ranging from 5.5m to 10.5m
  • Ideal for flameproofing for hazardous areas
  • Reduced running costs (no fuel requirements)
  • Quiet operation
  • Ideal for warehouses with racking and narrow aisles
  • Used to maximise warehouse storage capacity

Order Picker

Order pickers come in high level and low level options. Low level options are best suited for the pick face (first and second level). High level options allow for picking at higher levels. Both options come in walk out and auxiliary lift varieties. The walk out option is where the operator walks out onto the pallet to pick, whilst the auxiliary lift option is where the pallet raises and lowers to the operators requirement up to waist height.

Another popular option for order pickers is to install platforms at differing lengths suited for furniture handling.

Order pickers offer the following:

  • 0.5 to 1.2 tonne capacities
  • Lift heights ranging from 1.0m to 10.5m
  • Ideal for flameproofing for hazardous areas
  • Reduced running costs (no fuel requirements)
  • Quiet operation
  • Ideal for warehouses with racking and narrow aisles
  • Used to maximise warehouse storage capacity
  • Ideal for multiple individual picking compared to complete pallet retrieval

Pallet Rider / Stacker

Pallet riders and stackers come in centre and end rider varieties. Pallet riders are ideal for moving palletised goods over medium to long distance (with no lifting requirements), whereas pallet stackers can be used similarly with the added ability to lift the product up to 4.5m.

  • 1.0 to 2.5 tonne capacities
  • Lift heights ranging from 0.2m to 4.5m
  • Ideal for flameproofing for hazardous areas
  • Reduced running costs (no fuel requirements)
  • Quiet operation
  • Ideal for large warehouses where long distance stock movement is required
  • Pallet stackers are ideal for lifting palletised goods onto other equipment such as shrink wrap machines.
