The transition to electric: Efficiency without emissions
Prins is your support and guide in the transition to electric forklift trucks. Together with you, we look ahead. How does your operation work? How can we integrate the charging infrastructure and battery management? In our advice, we compare the purchase value of electric forklift trucks with the operational gains you will achieve with them. For example, you benefit from lower maintenance costs, because an electric machine has significantly fewer moving parts than a combustion engine. A sustainable and cost-efficient logistics operation – isn’t that what everyone wants? We can help you achieve this with used machines available from stock.
Li-ion technology: Always on the move
Thanks to the revolution in passenger cars, you may already know that lithium-ion (Li-ion) has improved everything about electric driving. With Li-ion, you can charge quickly, for example during your lunch break. After that, you can work for hours. Do you work in multiple shifts? Then the electric forklifts from Toyota and CESAB are ideal for you. You no longer need to change batteries. Just plug it in and go!
At Prins, we give you advice tailored to your situation. Because to make optimal use of Li-ion within your specific process, some puzzle work is required. Since a Li-ion battery lasts up to three times longer than a traditional lead-acid battery, it is an excellent investment. And the battery is also completely maintenance-free. The result for you: higher uptime and a stress-free fleet manager. We will also keep you informed of all developments in the field of energy storage.
Smart moves
Rent a electric forklift
Do you only need extra capacity during peak periods? We can help you with that too. Rent a electric forklift truck that suits your needs from Prins and you can get started right away. Whether you want to rent a machine for one day or 100 months, we will work with you to find the right solution. Our advisors will be happy to tell you more about the options. We offer both short-term and long-term rental options.
Leasing a electric forklift truck
Purchasing a machine requires an investment. But perhaps you would rather not dip into your working capital. Even then, Prins has options for you. You can lease any type of electric forklift truck from us. From full operational leases to financial leases: together, we will find the lease option that best suits your situation. So that you know exactly where you stand for a fixed monthly amount.
Trade in your electric forklift?
Is it time to replace your current electric forklift truck? Then we would be happy to take over the machine you are currently working with. The mechanics in our own workshops will then completely overhaul it and we will add it to our second-hand fleet. This way, you will receive a refund for your used machine and together we will be working in an even more sustainable way.
Lifting capacity and customisation for every sector
Of course, your logistics process is the basis for choosing the ideal electric forklift truck. What loads do you move? What lifting capacity do you need? The range is there: from compact 3-wheelers from CESAB for narrow aisles to heavy Toyota machines for industry. At Prins, we determine the perfect configuration for you based on the load diagram and the desired lifting height. Do you need triplex masts or specific attachments? Then we will create a customised solution especially for you.
The big advantage is that we have sector-specific knowledge at Prins. We know what greenhouse horticulture or logistics hubs need. Our advisors will therefore ask you detailed questions. For example, about the floor conditions, the aisle width and the intensity of use. Take advantage of our in-depth knowledge, because it will ultimately help you choose a (used) electric forklift truck that will still be the best choice for your business in five years’ time.
Ergonomics and safety in the workplace
The driver and the forklift truck must form a single unit, as it were. Ergonomics is therefore extremely important. This is also evident in our Toyota and CESAB models. The cabins are comfortable, the controls are intuitive and the all-round visibility is excellent. This leads to fewer errors and greater safety. Exactly as you and we would like to see.
Every day, manufacturers work on innovations in the field of safety. Examples include automatic speed reduction when cornering and visual warning lights for pedestrians. At Prins, we believe that safety benefits productivity. Our engineers therefore calibrate the safety systems as standard during every service. Because an investment in a safe electric fleet is an investment in your people.
Long-term cost savings (TCO)
Every company is looking for the ideal ‘Total Cost of Ownership’ (TCO). In that case, the (used) electric forklift truck wins out over LPG or diesel in almost all scenarios. Yes, you pay more at the time of purchase, but the payback period is short thanks to lower energy costs and minimal maintenance. In fact, the longer you use the electric forklift truck, the more you save.
Would you like to know exactly how much you will save? At Prins, we are happy to provide you with insight. We compare your current consumption with the switch to electric. You will see that, at the end of the day, it will be worth your while to make the switch. And if there are tax benefits or subsidies available for the purchase of sustainable equipment, we will of course let you know how you can purchase that electric Toyota or CESAB even more affordably. If there are opportunities, we will take advantage of them for you. You can count on it.
FAQ Forklift trucks
