Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about lithium forklifts? You are in the right place. Here are clear answers to the things people ask us most.
How long do lithium forklifts run on a full charge?
Up to 8 hours per charge, depending on truck size and workload. You can top up during breaks using standard charging points.
Can I use lithium trucks outdoors?
Yes. AilsaX trucks are built for UK weather. Rain, cold, or rough ground, they are ready.
What is the real difference in running costs?
Diesel trucks cost around £20–£30 per day in fuel. Lithium costs under £5. Add in lower maintenance and the savings stack up.
Do I need special chargers or infrastructure?
No. Most customers use 16A or 32A sockets. We will size your setup and advise if a rapid charger helps.
Are lithium batteries safe?
Yes. Every truck uses EP’s in-house battery system with full safety features, auto shut-off, and remote diagnostics.
What is the warranty and service cover?
Every truck is covered by a full parts and labour warranty. You get direct support from our in-house service team.
