Electric Forklifts

Electric forklifts offer quiet, efficient and environmentally friendly operation, making them particularly well suited to indoor warehouses, production sites and retail distribution centres. Their electric drive provides smooth handling and zero on-site emissions, which can help maintain a cleaner, more comfortable working environment. Electric forklifts are also known for lower day-to-day running costs, thanks to fewer moving parts and reduced routine maintenance requirements. If your operations are primarily indoors or require low-noise equipment, choosing an electric forklift for sale can be a practical and cost-effective solution alongside other fuel options we offer.

A well-maintained used electric forklift can be extremely reliable, particularly in controlled indoor environments where electric trucks are commonly used. At Revived Equipment, all used electric forklifts are thoroughly inspected, tested and assessed by our qualified technicians before being listed. This includes checks to battery condition, motor and controller performance, mast operation and key safety systems. Our refurbished electric forklifts receive additional servicing and preparation, while our ex-rental machines are professionally checked and prepared without requiring full refurbishment. This ensures you can choose an electric forklift that delivers dependable daily performance at a lower cost than buying new.

When comparing one electric forklift truck for sale with another, it’s important to look at the battery condition, lift height, load capacity and the type of work your operation requires. Electric forklifts come in various configurations, from compact three-wheel models designed for tight aisles to four-wheel trucks built for heavier loads. You should also consider your charging setup, shift patterns and the type of terrain in your facility. Our team can help you match your operational needs to the right model from our range of electric forklifts for sale.

Battery life on electrical forklifts depends on several factors, including age, maintenance, capacity and the intensity of your working environment. Typically, a well-maintained battery will last a full shift, and some models can run even longer thanks to high-capacity or rapid-charge systems. Regular charging, proper watering (for lead-acid units), and avoiding deep discharges all help extend battery lifespan. When purchasing a used electric fork lift, we always provide transparent information on battery health so you know exactly what to expect.

Electric forklifts are primarily designed for indoor environments, but many models can handle light outdoor use as long as the ground is smooth and level. They are not generally suited to rough terrain or wet, exposed environments, as excessive moisture can affect electrics and battery components. If you need a machine that works both inside and outside, our team can guide you to the most appropriate models within our electric forklifts range and advise on which units perform best in mixed-use settings.

When you buy a refurbished electric forklift, we provide full UK-wide delivery and support. Each machine undergoes final checks before dispatch, ensuring it arrives ready for immediate use. We can also supply operational guidance, safety documentation and aftercare advice for battery maintenance, charging and servicing schedules. When you choose Revived Equipment, you can be confident that your used electric forklifts will be delivered safely, professionally and with complete transparency.
