Is a used stand up electric right for your operation?

Also known as dockstockers, stand up electric forklifts are counterbalance lift trucks that can take stock from the dock to the warehouse for storage.


The operator rides in a stand up compartment and uses a a joy stick and a steering tiller to drive the forklift rather than a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, and hydraulic levers that would be found on a sit down forklift.

Stand up electric forklifts versatile, compact lift trucks that are typically used in warehouses for unloading pallets from semi-trailers and taking those pallets into the warehouse.

Their versatility makes them a great option for many other indoor uses that require loading and unloading and stacking in tighter spaces.

Lead-acid battery technology has been around for a long time! Lead-acid batteries were invented in 1859 and were the first rechargeable batteries for commercial use.

Lead-acid batteries are still used in most forklifts sold today because of there reliability, ease of use, simple maintenance, and easy charging.

How long a lead-acid battery will last depends on a few important factors.
First is the manufacturer. Some battery manufacturers are better than others so it’s worth doing some research about the battery in the forklift you’re looking to buy.

Secondly, and more importantly is how a lead-acid battery is maintained. Keeping lead-acid batteries clean, maintaining electrolyte levels, and proper charging extend the life of the battery.

How a forklift battery is used changes how long it will last. Batteries used in a clean environment with constant temperatures that aren’t too hot or cold last longer.

Overall, lead-acid batteries should give the user 1500 to 2000 charge cycles depending on maintenance.

Replacing a lead-acid battery is a fairly easy process. The battery can be extracted and a new or used replacement battery can be installed. The old battery can be taken away by a service provider for recyling.

A lead-acid forklift battery should always be matched with the correct charger. The correct charger will have the correct voltage and current output for the battery your are charging.

All of Machine Maxx USA’s stand up electric forklifts listings will show two charger options, one single phase input and one three phase input, that match the forklift for sale.
