In the past, if you were faced with a difficult application like a yard or difficult terrain, you’d typically go for a diesel forktruck. It made sense at the time but now we have a greener Lithium forklift truck that can do the job - better!
If you’ve ever been faced with a challenging application such as a potholed yard or uneven terrain, you’d typically choose a diesel forktruck. It made sense at the time, diesel forktrucks have been perceived to have superior performance to lead-acid electric alternatives, with better acceleration and lift speeds. The bulky chassis & large diameter wheels ensured they could handle uneven surfaces, standard pneumatic tyres meant diesel forktrucks could take on any terrain.
Diesel forktrucks are often described as ‘rugged’ and ‘hardworking’, ideally suited for outdoor applications, while lead-acid electric forktrucks historically would be seen to be more suited to internal warehousing and manufacturing sites. With a small chassis design allowing them to manoeuvre in tight spaces and narrow aisles. Electric trucks do not emit harmful gases in the form of emissions making them ideal for internal applications.
Over the past decade, as conscious consumerism gains traction and media coverage of global environmental issues expands, purchasing habits are shifting and corporate sustainability is taking centre stage. Companies worldwide are making a continuous effort to incorporate sustainable practices into their business models. Examining every piece of the supply chain, diesel forklift trucks have come under scrutiny for their harmful emissions and costly maintenance regime.
While rising fuel costs presents another concern, we had an epiphany. We needed an electric forklift truck that would maintain all the advantages of a diesel forklift truck. Eliminating the need for fuel and eradicating emissions while maintaining a strong chassis, spacious operator compartment, high ground clearance, large pneumatic tyres & maximum power output.
Welcome the EFL range of lithium powered diesel chassis forktrucks!
Taking the conventional gas & diesel forklift but replacing the traditional internal combustion engine with a high torque output and powerful lithium battery pack, our brand new EFL25 powertrain has been replaced by a cleaner, greener 205AH lithium power pack & super-fast charger. Switching to Lithium means that the EFL25 benefits from vastly reduced maintenance costs, zero emissions and almost noise free running. Replacing the entire engine, drive train, cooling system & exhaust with a Lithium battery means there are significantly fewer moving parts, offering savings on maintenance while reducing downtime, increasing uptime & productivity.
Unlike, traditional electric lead-acid forklift trucks, all our forklift trucks are powered by a li-ion battery. The integration of a superfast charger means that the EFL25 benefits from massively extended running time, the likes of which has not been seen in the industry until now. This EFL25 supports opportunity charging which means it can be charged at any moment of inactivity, including lunch & tea breaks, without disrupting working schedules. Lithium power pack is a sealed unit, this means that unlike with lead-acid powered forklift trucks, there are no distilled water costs or acid spills.
Combining the impressive advantages of a Lithium forktruck with the advantages of a strong diesel forktruck chassis, we’ve found the perfect solution to reduce costs, eliminate pollution and match the power performance of a diesel forktruck. Advantages of Lithium EFL25 Counterbalance
