The electric lift truck is driven by heavy lead acid batteries which can work for 5 to 6 hours of constant use, or usually for a standard 8 hour shift. Forklifts commonly can be powered by batteries or other fuel sources like gas, diesel or propane. Electric lift trucks have a few benefits about upkeep and lifespan as opposed to other units. One of the main advantages is that electric forklifts are less costly to run as opposed to different kinds which make use of various fuel. Electric models have a lower cost per hour of use as opposed to any of the IC or internal combustion lift trucks.

Electric lift trucks are much quieter to work for the reason that they run on a battery they produce a lot lower levels of sound. IC engines can be somewhat loud, for instance, have you ever started a car inside? The sound reduction factor of the electric lift truck could be a huge advantage specially if you intend to utilize the forklift primarily inside. These kinds of forklifts are generally easier to upkeep in view of the fact that they have less moving components than other IC units and therefore, have a much better lifespan. Since the electric lift trucks are generally utilized inside within cleaner surroundings, this adds to their overall longer lifespan. If you are searching for a used forklift, this is something to take into account.

The electric lift truck does have a few drawbacks. Usually, they have a higher starting cost, approximately 20% to 40% more than different lift trucks. In addition, these forklift batteries require 8 hours of charging time and 8 hours of cooling period before they can be used. In a manufacturing atmosphere this means that you must have an extra battery to use while the other is charging if the equipment is needed for 2 or 3 shifts. A battery charging station would likewise be a requirement in this situation. The battery charging station should be kept in a temperature controlled, well ventilated and dry location.
