Electric v. IC Cost Calculator

LIFT TRUCK COST CALCULATOR (WITH CAPITAL)

The lift truck is one of the most widely used material handling vehicles. Although lift trucks traditionally have been fueled by gasoline, propane gas or diesel fuel, more than 55% of lift vehicles currently purchased are battery-powered. Electric lift trucks provide many benefits, such as:

• Cost savings – realized through reduced fuel costs, lower life cycle costs and lower maintenance costs
• Environmentally friendly – realized through elimination of combustion and fumes
• Efficiency – realized through increased productivity, quieter operation and increased comfort and safety

The calculator will allow you to determine the true cost savings and environmental benefit of electrics versus their IC counterparts, with the ability to tailor to a specific customer, including the ability to adjust the capital costs.

Numbers provided on this calculator are an average of multiple different types of forklifts and are based off of a clean and dry operating environment. The savings displayed are meant to present a rough average of potential savings when switching from internal combustion forklift to an electric forklift. The numbers presented are not a guarantee, as results will vary based off of the machine size, operating site, operator, and multiple other variables. In no shape or form does Holt of California financially guarantee any savings presented from this calculator.
