Many areas of technology are rapidly advancing. This is largely due to what industry experts are referring to as an “industrial revolution”. Industries are making the switch from IC to electric forklifts, thanks to this revolution.
Electric motors and batteries are becoming less expensive, more powerful, and less difficult to produce. These developments started the revolution. More operations and jurisdictions are looking to reduce their emissions and environmental impact. Though LPG and diesel continue to be the most commonly used fuel, we believe full-scale change is on the horizon. Many operations are starting to look at their operating budget to try and reduce costs. The most obvious area is fuel. There are many other areas that can see a cost reduction when switching over to electric.
Electric motor technology is here to stay. Carer Electric Forklifts is making this a reality for the material handling industry. Our line-up offers high capacity and performance along with reduced fuel consumption and emission output. This makes them the perfect choice for a variety of indoor and outdoor operations. The following is a list of the benefits our customers have experienced while operating a Carer electric forklift.
Customer Benefits to Using Carer Electric Forklifts
Lower maintenance costs – An internal combustion forklift typically has 1100 parts. A Carer electric forklift has approximately 90 parts. There is a significant reduction in wear and tear on internal components over time. Every repair takes less time because it is easy to access to every area of the forklift.
Lower emissions – Every Carer electric forklift produces zero total emissions. There is no harmful carbon monoxide or greenhouse gases for operators or nearby workers to breathe.
Less noise – Fleets of IC trucks produce a lot of noise. It’s one of the biggest complaints from operators, other staff, and neighbouring businesses. With quieter electric machines, work sites become a pleasant environment—not a deafening one. Lithium batteries combined with Carer’s “Steer by Wire” technology greatly reduces noise associated with hydraulic steering and gear pumps.
This ensures that every forklift runs quietly. It has even gone so far as to eliminate the need for ear plugs for some models.
For these reasons, electric forklifts are the ideal choice for indoor warehouse situations. There are no harmful fumes to expel. That means expensive ventilation is not required. With the Carer electric forklifts, it doesn’t just stop at the warehouse door. Unlike any other high-capacity electric forklift, Carer can operate just as easily outside as it can inside.
