E-VER Developing an emission-free answer to modern industry challenges

Electric forklifts are nothing new. But capable of lifting 10-18 tons? Until recently, lifting in this weight class and higher was only practical with diesel engine powered machines. The lead acid batteries used in smaller forklifts are not power-efficient enough to take on the job — the battery size and weight required for heavy industrial applications would negate any energy gains. Lead acid batteries also require longer time for charging.

These days, with an increasing pressure to lower CO2 emissions, more companies want an alternative to diesel. Now they have it—with the Konecranes E-VER electric forklift, powered by lithium-ion batteries to enable emission-free industrial lifting possible.
