In today's busy material handling market, low maintenance, application efficiency and of course high power are important factors. AC technology is ideally suited for indoor applications, especially with its brushless features. This particular kind of forklift is practically maintenance free and enables you to concentrate on getting the job done.

Function
Alternating current or AC technology is more productive and is energy efficient. These types are a lot more cost effective and reliable compared to the traditional direct current or DC technology. AC forklifts were designed to offer high power indoor applications. Normally, a battery of 36 to 80 volts is used to obtain the power and torque necessary. The AC technology enables a longer time period in between recharging. This enables the forklift to be used for a longer time. Furthermore, the AC motors are absolutely enclosed and this lessens exposure and dust with no motor brushes, that means a lot less maintenance and less sparking.
Advantages

AC motors are generally much quieter than DC motors and this helps increase operator awareness on the jobsite.
