READ MOREThis section of this document discusses the Corporate Responsibility of the company to its employees. By converting from fossil fuel vehicles to electrics, the pollutants employees breathe are eliminated. While emission controls on fossil fuel...
READ MOREAC electric technology allows precise and aggressive electric braking in which mechanical friction from a physical brake is not used as the sole means of slowing or stopping the lift truck but in addition, it ‘pours’ energy back into the battery...
READ MORELift truck batteries come in all shapes and sizes. A typical battery’s dimensions and weight can vary widely depending on the truck, but in the case of the 5,000 lb. electric sit-down counterbalanced lift truck, it’s approximately 40 inches wide...
READ MOREElectric warehousing lift trucks are based on a range of voltages (e.g. 24V, 36V, 48V and 80V). Some applications don’t require a great deal of power. For example, most Class III lift trucks (walkies, walkie-stackers and walkie end-riders)...
