Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the battery last on a lithium-ion forklift?

Lithium-ion forklift batteries are designed to last for the life of the forklift, typically providing 4,000 to 5,000 charge cycles. With proper care and maintenance, they deliver consistent, reliable power throughout the forklift’s lifespan.

What kind of maintenance do lithium-ion forklifts require?

Lithium-ion forklifts require significantly less maintenance than traditional internal combustion (IC) models. There’s no need for oil changes, engine tune-ups, or battery watering. The main upkeep involves periodic inspections and ensuring the battery management system (BMS) is functioning properly, reducing downtime and service costs.

Do I need to charge my forklift every night?

Not necessarily! Lithium-ion forklifts support opportunity charging, allowing you to recharge during breaks, shift changes, or downtime. This flexibility keeps your fleet powered throughout the day without the need for overnight charging.

Can lithium-ion forklifts handle heavy loads?

Yes! Our lithium-ion forklifts are engineered for power and durability, capable of handling loads just as efficiently as traditional gas or diesel models. We offer a range of models to match your lifting and weight requirements.

Can I use a lithium-ion forklift in the rain?

Yes, our lithium-ion forklifts are all-weather resistant, so you can use them in hot, cold, snow, and even rain!

What are the benefits of upgrading to a lithium-ion forklift?

Upgrading to lithium-ion forklifts can reduce fuel and maintenance costs, improve your carbon footprint, and provide a smoother, quieter work environment. Plus, the latest models offer cutting-edge technology that boosts efficiency and productivity.

What maintenance do lithium-ion batteries need?

Lithium-ion batteries require zero maintenance, allowing you to focus more on operating your forklift and less on downtime.
