An electric counterbalance is a forklift truck powered by an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine and uses rechargeable industrial batteries or external ways of conveying power. Due to their variety in terms of size and either a four or three-wheel model, electric counterbalance forklifts are versatile and perfect for changing work environments.
Our team is often asked how to drive an electric counterbalance forklift. Although these forklifts are simple to operate, they may seem difficult to someone unfamiliar with forklift operations. This is why we offer free forklift demonstrations on-site. Our trusty forklift operator can demonstrate how to drive our counterbalance forklift in your work environment and answer any further questions you may have.
To charge an electric forklift, you must ensure that the charger is correctly matched to the batter. Check that the charger cables are not damaged or heat-worn and that the charging cable is in good working condition. It is essential to charge an electric forklift battery only when the charge is below 30% instead of scheduling battery charging at set times.
Electric forklifts come with many benefits. One of the main advantages is that electric forklifts are more environmentally friendly when compared with diesel or petrol. They also have lower running costs, good maneuverability, fewer maintenance requirements and reduced noise.
On average, a forklift battery will last a single-shift operation for five years. However, proper care and maintenance can extend battery life up to ten years. When charging your forklift, it’s important to wait until it reaches 20-30% charge. To conserve the lifespan of your battery, avoid exposing the battery in extreme temperatures.
Running clean and being eco-friendly may sound like it could come with a downside, but in actual fact, electric forklifts perform every bit as efficiently as their less green counterparts. They emit zero greenhouse gases so they can be utilised in more sensitive environments such as food production and medical warehousing facilities. This means they are suitable for sensitive environments, such as food production or medical warehousing. Read our blog to learn more about how electric forklifts can help you reduce your carbon footprint.
Electric forklifts generally have lower maintenance costs than LPG or diesel forklifts. Electric forklifts don’t have an engine, transmission or radiator that requires regular maintenance or repair, making them a more cost-effective option when compared to gas and diesel forklifts.
