We are considering purchasing an electric forklift to handle carpet rolls up to 1500 lbs. In addition to our concern with battery maintenance, 2 vendors indicated that multiple trips (20/day) on a ramp to the loading dock (30' - 16% grade ramp) will use up the battery capacity. Does anyone have experience with using a 3 wheel 4,000 lb battery powered forklift on a dock ramp? Due a 22' aisle width, propane forklifts would be tight.
