If you work in a warehouse or deal with heavy boxes or items on a daily basis, you will understand the value of a forklift. Forklifts can make moving heavy equipment easy, without the risk of your employees getting hurt. But when it comes to choosing the right forklift, you want to make sure that you choose the best. We are proud of all the Doosan forklift trucks we offer at West Mercia Forklifts, so we have created this handy guide to help you choose the right forklift for you, as well as some of the main benefits of using electric machinery.
Doosan Counterbalance
At West Mercia Forklifts, we offer three different types of counterbalance forklift: diesel, LPG and electric, meaning that we have the right tools to suit your needs. The electric Doosan counterbalance forklift has been designed with safety and reliability in mind. This forklift comes with the latest ACT system which allows you to maximise the efficiency of your forklift, saving you valuable money. All of our counterbalance forklifts come in a wide range of different capacities, from 1.5 tonnes to 5 tonnes.
Doosan warehouse forklifts
The Doosan warehouse forklift has been specifically built in our German manufacturing facility and has been designed to be heavy-duty, strong, reliable and no-nonsense. These lifts are perfect for any warehouse, are easy and safe to use and you can choose from either a pedestrian warehouse forklift or a ride-on forklift depending on your requirements. We offer 1.8-tonne to 5-tonne pallet trucks, 1.2 to 2-tonne pallet stackers and 2 to 2.5-tonne pickers and scissor lifts. No matter your requirements, we have the forklift for you.
Doosan reach forklifts
Our reach forklifts are designed to help you reach the higher shelves in your warehouse with ease. Our heavy-duty forklifts are easy to manoeuvre, meaning that you can quickly move big objects to high heights with ease. All of our Doosan forklifts are durable and strong, meaning that you won’t have to worry about breakages or issues. Our reach forklifts come in different durabilities, from 1.4 to 1.8 tonnes.
Doosan big trucks
Our big trucks are designed for the biggest warehouse jobs. These big trucks can lift the heaviest of objects with ease. If you have a large warehouse that deals with huge or difficult objects, you need our big truck. As will all of the Doosan range, this truck has been designed to be easy to use, despite its size. Moreover, the Doosan truck is heavy-duty and strong, meaning that it is long-lasting and safe.
What are the benefits of using electric forklifts?
Although many warehouses and businesses may have used diesel and petrol vehicles for a long period of time, there are many reasons why you should consider making the switch to electric forklifts.
Firstly, the upfront cost of an electric forklift is cheaper than others, because there are fewer component parts to make the forklift, resulting in cheaper costs. Forklifts are also cheaper to run because they run on electricity rather than expensive fuel. Moreover, because there are fewer moving parts to make the machine run, it means that you will spend less time and money maintaining the machine.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of using electric forklifts and other warehouse vehicles is the environmental benefit. With global warming affecting the way we live and work, we all need to make changes to help the planet. By switching to electric vehicles, you will be able to work as normal without producing any harmful emissions. Many customers are choosing to buy their products from more environmentally-friendly companies, so taking the time to invest in sustainable practices can be beneficial for your company in a number of ways.
Better yet, due to the advancement in electric vehicle technology, electric forklifts now have a much longer running time than older models and most fuel models, meaning that you can use your forklifts for longer without worrying that they are going to run out of battery.
