Battery electric forklifts are the most environmentally friendly. They are fume free in operation, giving off no harmful emissions. They are also quiet in use, and due to the weight and concentrated mass of the battery, they are generally more manoeuvrable than engine powered equivalents, due to the battery weight acting as an effective counterbalance, enabling the truck to be more compact in size. The cost of recharging the battery overnight on low rate tariff is considerably less than replacing gas bottles or filling a tank with diesel fuel.
Electric forklift trucks are generally easier to drive than engine powered machines, because they only have an accelerator and a brake pedal unless they are hydrastically powered. There is no clutch pedal or inching pedal, and the operator does not have to "rev" the engine for fast lift or hill starting. The maintenance and servicing costs of an electric forklift is considerably less than engine powered alternatives.
