Discover the greener way to undertake your materials handling

To us, sustainability is more than a buzzword – it’s a commitment to helping our clients on their journey to becoming more eco-friendly, and a responsibility to our planet.

Globally, companies are searching for more ways to minimise their environmental impact whilst maintaining their productivity and efficiency. At Handling Equipment UK, we understand that the move towards a greener materials handling fleet is not just about compliance - it’s about future-proofing your business.

One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint is by switching to EP Equipment’s range of Li-ion trucks, supplied by us! Let’s explore how integrating lithium-powered technology into your operations will empower your business to reach your sustainability goals, whilst enhancing performance along the way.

Zero emissions, zero guilt

Perhaps the most significant advantage of Li-ion forklifts are their all-electric power source. Unlike traditional internal combustion (IC) trucks, EP’s range produces absolutely zero emissions. This means that no harmful pollutants are released as a result of your operations, therefore reducing your overall carbon footprint.

In replacing your diesel or gas fleet with Li-ion technology, your business will make a tangible impact on reducing air pollution. Not only will this support your sustainability initiatives, but it will also contribute to cleaner air for your team and wider community. This also aligns with global efforts to meet carbon reduction targets and encourages the transition to green energy sources on a broader scale.

More power, less consumption

EP’s Li-ion batteries are renowned for their energy efficiency – unlike lead-acid batteries, which gradually lose power across their service life, Li-ion batteries maintain a consistent level of performance throughout their lifespan. Less energy is required to get the job done, and lower consumption translates into a lower carbon footprint.

If that wasn’t enough, Li-ion batteries charge faster and last longer, meaning fewer charging cycles and reduced downtime. These batteries benefit from opportunity charging, allowing for shorter charging stints which fit in seamlessly with your work day. This improved efficiency results in less energy wasted during operation, ensuring your equipment is more cost-effective whilst reducing the energy demands of your business.

Lower maintenance, less waste

Li-ion batteries require significantly less maintenance than their lead-acid counterparts. Traditional batteries require regular checks, water refills and can be prone to leaks and damage. Li-ion batteries, on the other hand, have a much longer lifespan and require minimal maintenance, reducing the need for replacements.

So, less maintenance means fewer service visits, fewer consumables and far less downtime for your equipment. If your business is, like many, striving towards sustainability, this reduction in operational waste directly contributes to a lower carbon footprint.

Improved efficiency, reduced resource use

EP Li-ion technology is designed for high performance, without the need for extra fuel or resources. By making the switch, your business can maximise your output whilst reducing your reliance on fossil fuels.

Lithium-powered trucks are also more energy-efficient in day-to-day operations. With compact designs – ideal for tighter spaces – and heavy-duty trucks for tougher tasks, you’re sure to find a solution that suits your business’s unique requirements.

Long-term savings, contributions to sustainability

A lower carbon footprint is more than simply reducing emissions and energy use; it’s also about improving operational efficiency, ultimately leading to impressive cost savings. EP’s Li-ion range is designed to be durable and offer fantastic reliability, ensuring reduced downtime and avoiding costly repairs, in turn minimising resource waste.

You can expect a reduction in fuel costs by making the switch to all-electric, as well as less budget allocated to maintenance and spare parts. These lower operational costs and higher efficiency will support your company’s sustainability budget and make it easier to reinvest in further green initiatives.

A step towards industry leadership in sustainability

As going green becomes an important business consideration, companies that embrace sustainability technologies position themselves as leaders in their respective industries. By adopting EP’s lithium-powered equipment, your company will not just be reducing your carbon footprint, but setting the standard for environmental responsibility, beneficial to your reputation and customer base.

We believe that adopting sustainable practices is more than just a smart business move. EP’s range of lithium-powered equipment will uplift your team to reduce their carbon footprint, and produce a tangible impact on your workflows, wider community and our planet.
