Hello,

I have been thinking to buy a forklift.
We will use just 30-40 mins a week mainly inside our warehouse which is 1 hour away from our shop.
So I was thinking to buy an electronic forklift(lead acid) because they don't make smell.
However I got to know that I might damager battery by over-charging or under charging. So I got to think to buy a lithium ion forklift.
However it is very expensive and it is overkill for my purpose.

it made me to think to buy a Hangcha lithium-ion forklift directly from China.
It will cost about $23,000 + shipping, tax etc.
I heard that electric forklift doesn't broke well compared with gas powered forklift, and HC Lithium ion forklift is built good.

Please let me know what do you think if you have used lithium ion HC forklift.

Thank you.

I searched about Hangcha forklift, and I couldn't get much information.
