Reduced Downtime with Opportunity Charging
Unlike lead-acid electric forklifts that require long charge times of up to 8-10 hours, Big Joe lithium-ion can be charged at any time. Whilst on a break or change of shifts, opportunity charging reduces downtime and keeps your forklifts operating for longer - without any risk of damaging the battery. Lithium-ion batteries can require as little as 10 minutes to charge fully.
Eco-Friendly Lithium-Ion Forklifts
Lithium-ion forklifts provide a cutting-edge solution for businesses seeking reliable and eco-friendly equipment. With quiet, zero-emission operation, they are ideal for indoor warehouses, retail environments, and other spaces where efficiency and sustainability are essential.
Lithium-ion batteries are far safer than alternative electric models; they're less prone to leaking and don't emit gases during charging, reducing the risk of fire and improving the working environment.
Both lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries are recyclable, but the recycling process for lithium-ion batteries is rapidly advancing, with a growing emphasis on recovering valuable materials. This progress is paving the way for a more sustainable lifecycle for lithium-ion technology.
Reliable Performance with Energy Efficiency
Big Joe forklifts are equipped with a proprietary battery management system that ensures powerful performance, long operating times, and rapid charging, effectively reducing downtime and boosting overall productivity. Designed for versatility, these forklifts excel at handling heavy loads and navigating tight spaces, offering a perfect balance of strength and manoeuvrability for challenging environments. Additionally, their energy-efficient design makes them a cost-effective choice, helping businesses control expenses while lowering their carbon footprint.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Lithium-Ion Forklift
Our FAQs explain how lithium-ion batteries can optimise your warehouse operations by leveraging the latest in reliable and sustainable battery technology.
What are the benefits of using a lithium-ion electric forklift?
Lithium-ion forklifts offer several key benefits, including zero emissions, quieter operation, and lower maintenance costs compared to traditional fuel-powered models. They deliver reliable power and efficiency for both indoor and outdoor use, creating a safer and more sustainable work environment.
How do lithium forklifts compare to traditional internal combustion engine forklifts?
Unlike conventional forklifts that rely on gas or diesel, Big Joe forklifts use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, significantly lowering operating costs and virtually eliminating emissions. This makes them an excellent choice for indoor environments where air quality is a priority. Additionally, these models run more quietly and offer superior energy efficiency.
Are lithium-ion forklifts safe to use?
Yes, incredibly safe. Big Joe forklifts feature a proprietary battery management system that keeps the battery balanced, monitors its health, and optimises performance to ensure reliable and efficient operation.
What type of maintenance is required for lithium-ion forklifts?
Lithium batteries require significantly less maintenance compared to traditional lead-acid models. There's no need for regular watering, lengthy continuous charge cycles, or the routine cleaning required to prevent acid build-up. Additionally, the risk of leaks is greatly reduced, enhancing both safety and convenience. However, to maximise the lifespan and performance of your forklift, regular inspections and servicing are recommended by the Spot On servicing team.
