What are the Benefits of Using an Electric-Powered Forklift in the Warehouse?

Posted: February 09, 2018
Read Time:

Electric forklifts offer numerous advantages for various indoor applications and even outdoor use with models like Toyota’s 80V Electric Pneumatic Forklift. Utilizing electric forklifts in your warehouse can significantly reduce fuel costs and enhance efficiency by allowing charging during off-peak hours or between shifts. 

Advantages of an Electric Forklift

Enhanced Workplace Quietness

You might not realize it, but having a quieter forklift can enhance efficiency and communication in various applications. In smaller, confined spaces with multiple forklifts operating, noise levels can become quite high. Electric forklifts can reduce noise, allowing for easier communication and less operator fatigue. In most environments, reduced noise can help operators and pedestrians better hear important workplace signals, like the forklift’s horn, and communicate more effectively.

Emission-Free Operation

Electric forklifts do not generate any CO emissions, helping to promote a healthy environment for your workforce and reducing the overall emission impact in your warehouse.

 

Certain products, such as food items, perishables, and various consumer goods, are particularly vulnerable to emissions. Toyota electric forklifts, available in a wide range of lifting capacities, provide a solution that can help protect these sensitive items. Additionally, fewer emissions contribute positively to environmental sustainability.

A Wide Range of Options

Because your warehouse needs to maximize space, it could be hard to fit a full-sized forklift down your narrow aisles. An electric warehouse forklift can help solve that issue. At Toyota, we have many different electric forklifts to fit your needs.

 

Maybe you need to squeeze in those narrow aisles? The 3-wheel electric would be perfect. It has a tighter turn radius than most forklifts but still has the capacity to lift up to 4,000 lbs. Maybe your warehouse stacks pallets behind each other. This is where reach trucks work great. Being able to place pallets in front of each other makes sure you are maximizing your warehouse space and racking. No matter what type of warehouse blueprint you have, Toyota Material Handling has an electric forklift to fit your needs!

Lower Operating Costs with Electric Forklifts

When considering the operating costs of forklifts, electric models are usually more economical than internal combustion (IC) models. Electric forklifts run on electricity, which can be significantly cheaper than the gas required for IC forklifts. While you may need to set up a charging station in your warehouse, the long-term savings on fuel costs can make this investment worthwhile.
