As companies look at for a more sustainable product to reduce their CO2 foot print Hydrogen fuel cell powered forklifts will answer this need above 6,000kg. Nearly all manufactures of large counter balance forklifts have still not raised the blindfolds of design when they are looking at a sustainable option for their customers. They believe that the customer would settle for an electric powered forklift that use lead acid batteries or even in a very small number of cases lithium iron. But the reality is somewhat different, A 8,000kg electric forklift has a service weight of 14,100KG, electric forklifts provide high levels of productivity but do not produce any (CO2) emissions. However the range is only 6 hours before battery recharging. Battery recharging on electric trucks takes from 6 - 12 hours meaning the truck is unavailable or battery exchange is required to provide continues availability. Compared to an 8,000 kg Hydrogen fuel cell truck weighs only 11,800 kg has a working range of 16 hours before a 5 min refueling
