Electric Forklifts for Sale

Electric forklifts make no exhaust fumes and run quietly, so they suit warehouses, food and drink, retail and anywhere people work close by. They cost less to run per hour than diesel or LP gas and have fewer moving parts to wear. For heavy outdoor work on rough ground, look at diesel forklifts; for a mix of indoor and outdoor work, LP gas forklifts.

The battery decides how the truck fits your shifts.

• Lead-acid costs less to buy. It suits single-shift work with a full overnight charge, needs topping up with water and needs a charging area. For two or three shifts, plan for a spare battery and battery changes.
• Lithium-ion costs more up front, but it can be charged in breaks without harming the battery, needs no watering and no battery changes, and keeps full power until it is nearly empty. It is the usual choice for multi-shift work.

Tell us your shift pattern and we will advise. We also supply, regenerate and replace traction batteries: see battery supply and regeneration.

• STILL: the compact RX20, the RX50, the RX60 range from 1.6 to 8 tonnes and the RX70.
• Hyundai: the B-9 series, the BE-X and the high-voltage B-X.
• Lonking: the CPD ESL lithium-ion range.

If the model you want is not in stock, we can place a factory order: that is the New to Order filter. See STILL forklifts, Hyundai forklifts and Lonking forklifts.

Most of our used electric forklifts are ex-hire units we owned and maintained ourselves, so the service history is ours. Before one leaves us it is inspected against our own standards and signed off, and every used machine is supplied with a current thorough examination as standard.
