Companies who use forklifts indoors need to be prepared for the change to electric units, it just a matter of time before it happens.
Electric trucks have come a long way in the last few years, AC power has made it more practical and cost effective.
Maintenance intervals are longer and less parts to deal with and the new battery technology that is evolving is making it more practical to change.
The initial costs of the change and battery handling issues scare some folks away from it, But savings in the long run will eventually be noticed.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
