EnerSys supports the "green initiative" to convert all gas powered forklift trucks to electric!
 
Even with sophisticated emissions reduction technologies, harmful gases are released into the environment by all gas-powered engines. Carbon monoxide (CO) is particularly hazardous for truck operators. Over-exposure to colorless, tasteless and odorless CO may cause adverse health effects in your employees.
 
We understand that your purchasing decisions are complex and that even the most environmentally concious companies need cost analysis data to justify the decision to switch to electric forklift trucks.
 
The Internal Combustion to Electric Forklift Cost Comparison tool was designed to demonstrate the cost savings your company can experience by converting your gas powered forklift truck to electric.
