How to Save Money on Energy
Have you thought about your operations’ energy consumption in detail? These costs build up over time, eating away at your budget. Material handling energy expenses can be a significant cost to your organization, but we’ve got the expert knowledge and technology to save you money and time. With today’s razor-thin margins, small changes can make a big difference.
What if you could:
- Expand your company’s green initiatives while improving your bottom line?
- Decrease equipment downtime and increase service intervals?
- All while reducing operating costs?
What kind of impact would that have on your operation? Here’s our best recommendations on how to get there:
Make the Switch to Electric Forklifts
Electric vehicles are here to stay, and they’re making huge improvements in the material handling industry. They’re becoming more affordable and accessible every day. And they’re just as powerful as internal combustion engines. When you add up purchase price + maintenance + fuel, the total cost of electric forklifts is less than traditional liquefied petroleum forklifts.
Lithium-ion batteries are the best option for forklifts in terms of safety, efficiency, and productivity. Cutting-edge technology lithium-ion batteries can run about 7 hours before needing a charge. And they charge quickly—between one and two hours to max charge.
The overall benefits more than outweigh the overall costs of switching to electric vehicles for your fleet. Learn more about other vehicle energy options, including battery and energy options. There has never been a better time to go green and convert to electric forklifts, and here’s why:
Total Cost of Ownership is Lower
You’ll need to service them less frequently. No oil changes, spark plug replacements, belts, or catalytic converters. There are fewer moving parts which means you’ll save money on maintenance.
Improve Health and Safety in Your Warehouse
Electric forklifts are quieter and ride smoother, reducing operator fatigue. Because they don’t produce any carbon monoxide emissions you can drive them inside and outside, keeping your employees safe and your indoor air clean.
Most electric forklifts are smaller than traditional ICE forklifts, allowing your team to work faster, more efficiently, and fit in tighter aisles.
And of course, electric equipment reduces your organization's carbon footprint because there’s no CO2 emissions. Switching to an electric fleet helps protect the environment and can look good for your sustainability initiatives.
Fleet Management for Energy Savings
