Electric forklift units make up almost sixty percent of the entire material handling market. Powering these units are extremely heavy lead-acid batteries. Because of their immense weight, these batteries naturally provide a lot of the counterweight.



Counterbalanced trucks are classified by the ITA as Class 1 forklifts. Class 1 also includes other electric trucks designed for general applications and stand-up counterbalanced trucks. Though the initial cost of an electric lift truck is more than internal combustion forklifts, electric models are cheaper to operate in the long run. This is because of their lower maintenance and fuel costs.



Most of the electric rider trucks manufactured and designed in North America are made for transporting material within 4 walls. Electric forklifts have usually been limited to indoor applications with surfaces that are smooth and clean. With the introduction of several new Class 1 items, it is becoming more and more possible to use electric rider models in certain outdoor applications.



Due to the fact that electric lift truck units provide no harmful emissions, they are usually chosen for indoor applications when compared to IC lift trucks. Electric models can complete a full 8 hour shift on one battery charge and are really quiet when in use. The batteries for electric models weigh approximately 3,000 pounds. The job of recharging, reloading and removing the batteries could be cumbersome and time consuming. This situation often happens at a battery charging zone or an area that is specially used for handling batteries. There are developing fast charging technologies that will be available on the market and these new systems are changing the battery charging process.
