Are you in the market for a new electric forklift? With so many options available, it can be difficult to know what to look for. Here are some important factors to consider when purchasing an electric forklift:
What Is the Capacity of Electric Forklifts?
The first thing to consider is the weight of the loads that you will be moving. Make sure to choose a forklift with a capacity that can handle your heaviest loads. At Hicoda Forklift, we offer capacity from 1.5 to 5 tons, with lifting height from 3 to 6 meters, which can meet the main needs.
How Long Does An Electric Forklift Battery Last?
Electric forklifts are powered by batteries, so it’s important to choose a model with a battery that has a long life. Look for a forklift with a battery that can last at least one full shift. For lithium battery forklift, it can be used at least 5 years with one-shift work. Our lead acid battery can work normally for around 3 years at least.
How Long Does Electric Forklifts Charging Time Take?
You’ll also want to consider how long it takes to charge the battery. A forklift that takes a long time to charge may not be the best option if you have a lot of heavy usage. Usually for lead acid battery, the daytime is for work and night for charging. But once choosing lithium battery, the quick charging 2 to 3 hours will be available.
What Is Your Stacking Aisle Width Left for Electric Forklifts?
The working aisle width varies from different electric forklifts. If your aisle width is enough, a 4-wheel electric forklift CPDA series could be considered, as its stacking aisle width requires around 3.6 to 4.7 meters, depending on which capacity you choose. If the aisle width is limited, a 3-wheel electric forklift CPDT series will be a good option, it only needs 3.4 meter stacking aisle width. Furthermore, if your space is very limited and the goods are not heavy, then the mini electric 3-wheel forklift CPDH series is your ideal choice within 3 meters aisle.
Does Electric Forklifts Has Enough Safety Guarantees?
Safety is paramount when it comes to forklifts. Make sure to choose a model that has safety features such as turning speed limit, mast soft landing, backup alarms, seat belts, and lights for increased visibility.
How Much Does the Maintenance Cost?
As with any piece of equipment, maintenance is key to keeping your electric forklift running smoothly. Look for a model that is easy to maintain and has readily available parts.
How Much Is An Electric Forklift?
Of course, price is always a factor when making a purchase. Look for a forklift that fits within your budget while also meeting your needs.
