When Cubicle Centre’s ageing forklift trucks needed replacing, Robert Thorpe, Cubicle Company’s Operations Manager, approached Lithium Forklifts UK for a more environmentally friendly, battery-powered version.

Lithium powered trucks are less energy demanding and produce much less pollution than their gas, diesel or lead-acid powered counterparts and unlike traditional batteries, the sealed units require zero battery maintenance and much less charging time.

Lithium is a premium battery technology with a longer lifespan and higher efficiency than lead-acid batteries and charges much faster with less space required for charging docks, making Lithium fork trucks more efficient and space-saving too.

Cubicle Centre's operatives were quick to jump into the new trucks and they were soon moving pallets of raw materials with ease. The two new trucks have a lifting capability of 2.5 tonnes for the smaller machine, and up to 3.5 tonnes for the larger truck, making them perfectly suited to lifting large sheets of raw materials. These new forklifts are a great new addition to the company and with their more efficient characteristics help to make the Cubicle Centre that little bit greener.
