WHAT IS INVOLVED IN FLAMEPROOFING ELECTRIC FORKLIFTS

Electric forklifts have long been recognised as a safer alternative to engine operated forklifts. This makes them ideal materials handling equipment to work in Dangerous & Hazardous Goods areas.

Many companies previously operating Internal Combustion (Diesel) flameproof forklifts have made the switch to a much cleaner Battery Electric and have never looked back.

Flameproof forklifts are not specifically manufactured. Instead, companies operating forklifts, select from the most suitable existing models of counterbalance trucks, pallet trucks, VNA and reach trucks to be converted to a flameproofed version to gain the benefits of the very latest technology.
