In the current landscape, major clients prioritize sustainability as a crucial performance metric.

Logistic operators face growing pressure to minimize the use of environmentally unfriendly energy sources. Opting for a lithium-ion battery, delivers a significantly reduced environmental footprint compared to lead acid batteries. This extends beyond just energy efficiency, encompassing lower risks of toxic emissions and environmental contamination.

The lithium-ion battery offers swift charging without dedicated bays, swap outs, or cooldown periods. No need to take them out of the forklift – they’re safe, maintenance-free, unlike lead acid batteries that demand lengthy charging, cooldown, and swap-out processes, causing productivity losses.

At CT Power, we highly recommend prioritising safety, health, and environmental well-being in forklift operations which is paramount for sustainable and efficient workplace management. Comprehensive guidelines not only mitigate risks but also contribute to a safer, healthier, and environmentally conscious working environment.
