When you are trying to find electric forklifts in and around Cambridgeshire bear in mind that a 7,000lb triple stage 17ft mast does not mean that it can take 7,000lb and lift it 17ft in the air. Lift height greatly diminishes as the height of the load increases and above 10ft the load capacity drops off considerably. Always refer to the manufacturers load chart which will show the differential drop as the lift goes higher.

While you are looking for electric forklifts in and around Cambridgeshire you might like to note that electric lift trucks do not like getting rained on as the rain usually causes problems with the electric systems causing them to short out. This can often result in the lift truck needing a day or two to dry out before it will start again.

While you are trying to find electric forklifts in and around Cambridgeshire it might be worth considering that a good well maintained battery on an electric lift truck will generally last 5-7 years but can often last as long as ten years. However a battery’s life expectancy will diminish considerably if it is consistently run hard and not given sufficient time to cool down.
