TCM Warehouse Forklifts Long Beach

Around sixty percent of the lift truck market is made up from electric units. These units derive their power from very heavy lead-acid batteries. Because of their massive weight, these batteries naturally supply much of the counterweight.



The counterbalanced version of forklifts have been classed as Class 1 lift trucks by the ITA. Class 1 usually refers to electric forklifts designed for general applications and stand-up counterbalanced lift trucks. Even though the first expenditure of an electric lift truck is more than internal combustion forklifts, electric units are less expensive to utilize in the long run. This is due to their lesser maintenance and fuel expenses.



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



Because of the fact that electric lift truck units provide no harmful emissions, they are usually chosen for indoor applications when compared to Internal Combustion forklifts. Electric models could complete a full 8 hour shift on one battery charge and are very quiet when in use. Electric unit batteries weigh about 3,000 pounds. The job of recharging, reloading and removing the batteries could be burdensome and time consuming. This situation usually happens at a battery charging zone or an area that is specially designed for handling batteries. There are developing fast charging technologies that would be available on the market and these new systems are changing the battery charging method.



The Right Fit

Using the right size of lift truck to complete the specific application is important to any business operation. The application itself should always dictate what product is chosen.



Customers are striving to find lower operating costs and more effective ways to lessen operating costs, all the while increasing their overall productivity, particularly since the economy becomes more complex and competitive. Using the wrong size of lift truck could really slow things down and have a huge effect on the bottom line and productivity of a company, while negatively affecting the productivity on the jobsite.



If you are unsure about what specific kind of forklift you require, a respectable dealer would be able to ask you the right questions which will enable you to make a correct selection. Numerous dealerships provide rentals of their machines as well and this is a very good way to try before you commit to such a huge purchase. It is also a good way to try various models out to see which ones you and your drivers are the most comfortable with and which ones bring you the best productivity.
