Your questions answered

Outdoor electric forklifts - FAQ

CAN AN ELECTRIC FORKLIFT REALLY WORK OUTDOORS?

The Hyster® XTLG is purpose‑built for mixed indoor/outdoor use and performs dependably in rain, cold temperatures, and challenging yard conditions. It is also engineered with ground clearance, all‑weather traction and responsive torque to help maintain control on uneven surfaces outside.

WHAT ABOUT HARSH ENVIRONMENTS?

Outdoor operations in tough industries typically mean exposure to challenging conditions. Hyster XTLG is designed with this in mind, with large tyres and ground clearance suited to uneven ground, and models with IPX4 waterproof rating for continuous operation in wet conditions.

WILL IT DELIVER THE SAME PERFORMANCE AS DIESEL?

The Hyster XTLG series forklifts offer powerful ICE‑like performance including strong torque, responsive control, and consistent lift speeds.

CAN XTLG HANDLE FREQUENT TRANSITIONS BETWEEN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AREAS?

Yes. XTLG trucks are built for seamless movement between indoor operations and yard conditions, with consistent lift performance and precise acceleration.

WILL THE BATTERY LAST THROUGH A SHIFT?

Hyster XTLG electric forklifts offer flexible charging and runtime to support busy operations. Opportunity charging during breaks can help ‘top up’ power to keep the forklift running across the shift.

DO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BATTERY?

The battery does not need to be swapped. The lithium-ion battery is integrated so the forklift can be ‘plugged in’ to charge without the battery being removed. This also saves vital space, as a dedicated charging area or battery storage area is not needed.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO CHARGE AN ELECTRIC FORKLIFT?

Charging times depend on the charger specification, but lithium‑ion technology enables rapid, opportunity charging that fits naturally around shift patterns. This may help maximise uptime.

HOW DOES COLD WEATHER AFFECT BATTERY LIFE?

Lithium‑ion systems are designed to manage temperature efficiently, helping maintain dependable runtime in colder outdoor conditions with consistent performance.

HOW MUCH DOES AN ELECTRIC FORKLIFT COST?

Hyster XTLG forklifts are available for a limited time with pricing from £83 per week. With reduced fuel costs and lower maintenance, many operations using Hyster XTLG electric forklifts see real savings over the life of the truck.

WHAT IS THE EXPECTED TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP (TCO) OF A LITHIUM-ION FORKLIFT?

With lower energy costs, reduced maintenance requirements and fewer consumables, Hyster XTLG forklifts typically offer a low lifetime TCO.

ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH MOVING TO ELECTRIC?

Infrastructure requirements vary by site, but many sites already have sufficient electrical capacity to support lithium‑ion charging. Your dedicated Hyster expert can provide guidance on installation and cost‑effective charging solutions that match your operation.
