Hey everybody, so I am planning to buy a 3.0 ton forklift, its primary usage is going to be for loading and stacking 800kg jumbo bags from containers in the loading area to storage. It is relatively close, I think the farthest point is 60m. We use propane forklifts; however found that gas and maintenance (oil, filter, etc) is expensive and want to look for an alternative, so we decided on trying electric. We narrowed it down to 2 brands, MHE 3.0 ton 80V/410Ah vs Hangcha 80V/420Ah, 80V/560Ah, 80V/608Ah. The Hangcha seller recommended me either the 420Ah or the smaller 210Ah, as he said that higher Ah batteries will not make the forklift last longer, as in 1 charge will not last longer than the other, however,r it will make it more responsive and will draw more power. Is this true? I always figured that higher Ah means more capacity, though I suppose it will be heavier? Are those brands any good as well? Any help would be appreciated. 1 shift lasts for 7 hours, ideally, the forklift would not need to be charged periodically, but if that's the case, then should be fine

Fact of the week
The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
