Voltage, phase, charger location and whether air tools are even in scope.
Specification check
new electric forklift
Compare electric, sit-down and walk-behind only as buyer options, not as a ranked winner. A new electric forklift request still needs rated capacity, load center, lift height and available power before any factory can treat substitutes as equals.
Open choices on the brief
-
Power source
Electric, manual or shop-air equipment can appear in a wider material-handling program. This cluster is electric. Write battery voltage, charger and whether three-phase supply exists. Do not ask factories to declare a universal ranking.
-
Operator posture
Sit down electric forklift and walk behind electric forklift serve different travel distances and lift heights. Keep both options open until duty cycle and aisle width are written.
-
Geometry still unset
Mast, free lift and fork length stay blank until the rack drawing or the retiring truck is measured. A substitute model must restate those millimetre values, not only a family name.
-
What must be verified
Before accepting an alternative, ask for the residual-capacity chart at the same load center and lift height, plus charger files for the quoted battery voltage.
Check items, not energy scores
Sit-down, walk-behind and compact standing duty remain buyer choices.
Factories quote the same capacity basis, geometry and excluded site work.
Documents to request after a match
Nameplate and residual chart
Ask whether the file belongs to the quoted model. A sibling series sheet is not a substitute. Load center and lift height on the chart must match the brief.
Charger and battery notes
Battery voltage and charger current are factory data. This desk will not invent a charging-room layout or a published energy-saving percentage.
