With climate change, the industrial world has shifted to other areas, including most logistics and transportation, and electricity has replaced many traditional forms of fuel.
Forklift trucks were almost entirely diesel fueled at the beginning. Over time, bottled gas occupied the main market. For the same reason, electricity is now so popular because it is a cleaner exhaust product.
Within the scope of the warehouse, gas powered forklifts in winter are far offset by harmful emissions. Electric forklifts have occupied a stable market share for decades. However, electric forklifts are also regarded by many customers as "small end" porters, which are only suitable for working on narrow aisle shelves and load up to 1500 kg.
With the progress of battery technology, this situation is likely to change. The weight of batteries on cars or forklifts can adversely affect performance. On forklifts, it just provides a useful additional counterweight balance.
The latest development of technology means that electric forklift is now a highly complex product, which can provide real commercial benefits to the widest range of users.
