About electric counterbalance forklift servicing
Electric counterbalance forklifts are the default for indoor warehousing: no exhaust fumes, low noise and a tighter turning circle than an engine truck. Most run on 48 V or 80 V batteries and fit standard pallet bays.
Typical range
- Capacities commonly 1.5 t to 8 t

Common questions
How long does an electric forklift battery last?
A healthy traction battery normally covers one shift. If you run two or three shifts, ask the supplier about a swap battery or a fast charger before you commit.
Can an electric forklift be used outside?
Yes, if it has a weatherproof build and the ground is firm, level and free of standing water. Rough ground, steep gradients or long outdoor runs usually suit LPG or diesel better.
