FORKLIFT TYPES

Electric forklifts

Electric forklifts are a useful starting point for indoor materials handling. Compare the truck’s capacity, battery condition, charging requirements and operating time against your shift pattern.

Questions to ask your supplier

  • Is the battery included, and what is its condition?
  • Will the charger work with the power supply on site?
  • How long can the truck work between charges?
  • Is the truck specified for any outdoor work you need?

Start with a complete brief

Give the supplier your postcode, typical and maximum load weights, pallet dimensions, lift height, working hours and site access details. Explain any attachments, ramps or outdoor work involved. A supplier can then recommend a specification and explain its limitations.

Find a dealer to discuss your requirements

The directory lists forklift businesses and their published services. Individual stock varies, so confirm that a dealer supplies this equipment type before arranging a visit.
