The first benefit of replacing internal combustion engine forklifts with electric motors is the reduction in energy use as well as the reduction in exhaust emissions that pollute the working environment inside pallet warehouses.

Nowadays, the new trend is to gradually replace lead acid batteries with hydrogen fuel cells. Although in the United States, hydrogen-powered forklifts are becoming more popular, The European Union-sponsored ” Hydrogen Forklift Design Show” will conclude in December 2013, demonstrating interest in adopting the technology on a large scale.

Conventional batteries have the disadvantage of low battery life and long charging time. While more modern forklifts offer important improvements in both features, they still have certain limitations, especially for warehouses and distribution centers that must operate 24 hours a day.

For hydrogen fuel cells, the battery life is longer and the charging time is much shorter, with some high-end batteries taking only 3 minutes to charge.

In addition to the advantages of battery life, the performance of hydrogen batteries is not affected by low temperatures, a disadvantage that conventional batteries have and which is especially important in cold storage. In addition, the lead component in the battery when operating in a hot environment for a long time will soften, affecting the battery life.
