Why buy electric forklifts

Four reasons electric beats LPG or diesel for indoor warehouses.

0

Zero emissions

No exhaust, no CO, no fuel handling. Perfect for indoor warehouses, food-safe operations, and any facility with ventilation constraints.

QUIET

Quiet operation

Electric forklifts run near-silent vs. LPG or diesel. Better for retail backrooms and mixed-use warehouses with office areas nearby.

Li

Li-Ion available

Most Ekko models offer Li-Ion battery upgrade. Opportunity charging, 2-3x longer service life, zero watering/maintenance vs. lead-acid.

$

Lower operating cost

Electricity cheaper than LPG or diesel fuel. Longer service intervals. Total 5-year TCO typically 20-30% below fueled forklifts.

Li-ION
UPGRADE

Li-Ion upgrade pays back in 2-4 years for multi-shift ops

Lithium-ion battery upgrades cost $2,000-$5,000 more than lead-acid but deliver 2-3x longer service life, opportunity charging (charge during breaks instead of dedicated 8-hour cycles), and zero watering/maintenance. Pays back the price premium in 2-4 years for warehouses running multi-shift. Call (470) 208-2754 to compare Li-Ion vs. lead-acid TCO for your specific traffic profile.

Electric forklift FAQs

Common questions on electric forklifts.

Why choose electric over LPG or diesel?

Electric: zero emissions, quiet, lower operating cost, indoor-friendly. LPG: indoor/outdoor capable, faster refueling, pneumatic tires. Diesel: outdoor only, heavy-duty. Electric is warehouse standard for indoor use.

Lead-acid vs. Li-Ion battery?

Lead-acid: lower up-front cost ($2,000-$5,000 less), 8-hour dedicated charging, requires monthly watering. Li-Ion: higher up-front, opportunity charging (charge during breaks), 2-3x longer life, zero maintenance. Pays back in 2-4 years for multi-shift operations.

What lift height do I need?

Standard warehouse racking: 138"-189" (11.5-15.75 ft). Tall racking (3-4 shelves): 216"+ (18 ft+). Match forklift max lift height to your tallest rack height.

3-wheel vs. standard 4-wheel electric?

3-wheel: tightest turning radius, best for narrow aisles. 4-wheel: better stability at higher lifts, standard warehouse pick. 3-wheel is popular for retail backrooms; 4-wheel for warehouses.

Do electric forklifts need special electrical service?

Standard 24V/48V/80V DC batteries charge on standard 240V AC single-phase or 480V 3-phase outlets. Charger sizing depends on battery voltage and capacity. Check spec sheet.

Do I need OSHA certification?

Yes. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requires forklift operators to be trained and certified on the specific class of forklift. Training is typically a 4-8 hour course; certification is employer-provided and site-specific.

How much do electric forklifts cost?

Ekko electric forklifts price from $23,999 entry through $41,999 flagship. Typically 30-50% below Toyota, Hyster, Yale, and Crown for equivalent capacity.

How is delivery on electric forklifts?

All electric forklifts ship LTL freight with liftgate service. Free U.S. shipping. Typical delivery 7-15 business days. Larger forklifts may require truck-with-forklift delivery.
