Cat Lift Trucks has developed a total of other six electric counterbalance ranges to help in transitioning to battery driven equipment 

Switching to electric forklifts from diesel can be quite beneficial. When looking at operational efficiency, cost optimisation, and meeting with the increasing customer’s requirements to reduce their business’ carbon footprint, it is natural to look at the possibilities that electric forklifts offer. For those applications that can go electric, a key benefit looking at business operations in the long run, is the savings in the total cost of operation. This is achieved largely through lower maintenance needs and easier servicing.

The amount of advantage that is gained from moving to electric lift trucks will depend on the quality of the trucks that is chosen. The durability and performance of the Cat electric forklifts portfolio, especially the versatile Cat EP10-35(L)CB range, has been long regarded as being particularly popular in Middle East and Africa. Within this range of nine models, the Cat EP25CB with 2.5 tonnes capacity and a 48V battery, is especially successful as it can do the job where others require a more expensive 80V battery. 

This energy-efficient range is equipped with a host of ergonomic and safety features which allow drivers to work confidently and quickly optimising the efficiency of your materials handling operations. The EP-CB range offers optional features for more specialised applications and extremely harsh environments which can help to decide when transitioning to electrics. 

Next to the EP-CB-range, Cat Lift Trucks offers other five electric counterbalance ranges, along with a comprehensive warehouse truck line-up and unbeatable sales and aftersales product support. Building on decades of experience in the electric forklifts, both Cat Lift Trucks and its dealer network in the Middle East and Africa are well prepared to assist customers who are ready to make the change to electric forklifts.
