Benefits of Electric Forklifts

An electric forklift may be the perfect match for your company's needs. Read on to discover key perks of these pieces of equipment. When you are ready to explore electric forklifts for sale, visit CCon Metals. Our dealership is based in Granite Falls, North Carolina.

A Lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)

Over the lifespan of the equipment, an electric forklift will have a lower TCO than a comparable gas-powered or diesel-powered alternative. This alone is reason enough for many companies to choose an electric forklift!

Reduced Downtime

Electric forklifts typically have less downtime than comparable models with a different fuel source. 

They contain fewer parts in general, which means less time spent maintaining the various parts. They also won't need regular refills of fluids like coolants or engine oil. You'll end up spending less time maintaining an electric forklift, which means more time spent using the equipment to get work done.

Reduced Noise Pollution

Loud noises may sound like a simple inconvenience, but daily exposure to loud equipment engines can take a surprising toll. In the short term, they can cause headaches and fatigue. In the long term, they can lead to hearing damage.

Compared to equipment with traditional internal combustion engines, electric forklifts operate much more quietly. This reduces the negative effects of noise pollution and makes it easier for equipment operators to communicate with each other, which helps lead to reduced risk of worksite injury.
