Electric Forklifts

Advantages:

  • Lower Operating Costs: Electric forklifts typically have lower operating costs than LPG forklifts because electricity is cheaper than LPG, and they have fewer moving parts, leading to less wear and tear.
  • Maintenance: Electric forklifts require less maintenance than LPG forklifts since they don't have internal combustion engines or exhaust systems, which can extend their useful life.
  • Indoor Use: Electric forklifts produce no emissions, making them ideal for indoor use, which can be less harsh on the vehicle compared to outdoor use.

Disadvantages:

  • Battery Replacement: The battery is a significant component of an electric forklift and can be expensive to replace. While regular maintenance can extend its life, batteries typically need replacement every 5 to 7 years, depending on usage and maintenance.
