Depending on the type of lift truck, the decision about battery technology can be simple or slightly more difficult. If you look at the prices of pallet trucks nowadays, it seems logical to choose a Li-ion version even with ride-on machines, as the cost price is comparable and offers enormous advantages. When purchasing reach trucks and lift trucks, the price difference for most manufacturers is still an obstacle for many customers. In that case, only manufacturers with custom-made Li-ion trucks can offer a real alternative, as their production costs can match the price of lead-acid lift trucks.
