In most cases, Electric Forklifts arrive in Australia from the manufacturer with no Forklift Battery installed and there are specific reasons for this.

This is especially so for new machines that are going into stock or may require many weeks or even months of supplier preparation before being delivered to the end user customer.

Another valid reason for this localised supply arrangement is the inherent requirement from Forklift Suppliers of a highly reliable and suitable Battery Service, Support and Warranty offering that's supplied to the end user customer as part of the Electric Forklift product.

A Forklift Battery is designed for many years of extremely heavy battery usage. The supply of a high quality Forklift Battery is a necessity and the absolute key to the product and brand reputation of the Electric Forklift it's powering! It needs to be reliable and trusted in every capacity.

Many Forklift Batteries (especially the lower tier products that are increasingly being supplied directly to the market as a packaged option) are supplied with a minimal factory-backed Battery Warranty (if any Warranty at all) and extremely limited service and support options here in Australia.

These Forklift Batteries sitting unused are susceptible to sulphation build up and lack of usable capacity due to the long non usage periods that come with overseas manufacturing supply and frequent transport delays. Both of these things can and will negatively impact the cycle life expectancy of the Forklift Battery itself long term.

Ask your Electric Forklift supplier..

1. Where does your Forklift Battery come from, but more importantly
2. What is the Factory backed Battery Product Warranty supplied with the Forklift? 

Whether your Battery option is Lead acid or Lithium-based, this question should always be the same 🙌 🙌
