Lithium-Ion Forklifts for Sale & Hire, UK

If you’re looking for a CESAB Lithium-Ion forklift truck for sale or hire within UK areas like Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick, Derby, West Midlands, and East Midlands, look no further than Angus Lift Trucks and our helpful technicians that can go over all of the relevant details and answer any questions you have.

This fork truck model, available for sale and rental from Angus, features a Lithium-Ion battery that offers optimal power, swift recharging, and zero maintenance.

To hire and buy Electric Lithium-Ion forklifts, you might need to do a fair bit of research, but the new range of CESAB includes all the features you need in even the most demanding work environment, including:

  • A 1-hour speedy charge option
  • A powerful 40-80V 540Ah Lithium-Ion battery that side-loads for convenience
  • 10,000 hour or 8-year battery warranty
  • Special equipment: double joystick controller, synchronized steering, and air conditioning

This model also features mirrors, an assortment of lights, and a seatbelt for safety, and there are multiple kinds of masts available.

It’s also possible to get different protection kits for the cabin, and anti-static wheels come standard. Lithium-Ion technology is also more friendly to the environment thanks to its higher efficiency and non-existent emissions, making Lithium-Ion forklifts an ideal hire or purchase for a wide range of UK applications. The process of producing them is even more ecologically friendly than lead-acid.

Since these batteries don’t need to charge as often, there are also cost savings in powering equipment and no need to waste time or labour switching batteries. It’s also worth noting that lead-acid batteries can lose up to 50% of the energy they store as they emit heat, whereas that number is only up to 15% for Lithium-Ion batteries.

Energy efficiencies

When considering whether to hire or purchase a Lithium-Ion​ forklift for your UK projects in areas like Leicester, Northampton, Birmingham, Nottingham, Warwick, Derby, West Midlands, and East Midlands, you may like to know that its lighter batteries weigh about a third as much as lead-acid batteries which means less energy gets wasted lugging them around, and forklift designs have evolved for better performance, ergonomics, and more comfortable conditions for the driver.

It’s also possible to get more performance from a smaller Lithium-Ion lift truck than before since Lithium-Ion batteries are at least 95% efficient compared to the 80-85% rate of efficiency you can expect from a lead-acid battery.

Why hire and buy Lithium-Ion Forklifts?

If you are looking for Lithium-Ion​ forklift sales & hire in the UK, then you know that one of the main benefits of Lithium-Ion batteries is their extended lifespan that lasts 3000+ cycles compared to the standard 500-1000 cycles you can expect from a lead-acid battery. This longer lifespan allows you to get more full cycles from Lithium-Ion batteries based on the percentage of charge than from other types of batteries, and charging times are much shorter.

A lead-acid battery needs a full charge once it gets depleted; otherwise, the battery’s total capacity may be damaged or reduced prematurely over time. When you hire or purchase Lithium-Ion forklifts, you can charge the unit during a 10-minute break or during lunch without damage, which is called “opportunity charging.”

Lithium-Ion technology features two primary chemical components: Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP).

These chemicals make up the rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries used in forklifts and a variety of other equipment today, with NMC featuring as a well-known compound in the manufacturing of electric cars, where energy density and size matter most.

LFP also offers a high level of energy density for its size without the risk of inflammation which is why many international and UK manufacturers and sellers of Lithium-Ion forklift equipment have switched to this technology. With LFP batteries, you can also expect 2000+ cycles, whereas NMC batteries come in slightly lower at 1000-2000 cycles.

Our Lithium-Ion forklifts are available for sale and rental across the UK, feature good electrochemical performance thanks to this Lithium-Ion technology, and some of the vital benefits include a high level of current, excellent thermal stability that ensures the battery isn’t likely to explode, and long cycle life.

Lithium-Ion batteries that use LFP are also safer and more tolerant of abuse which makes them ideal to hire and buy for larger equipment such as pallet trucks and electronic forklift trucks. You’ll find that many Lithium-Ion forklifts that are available for sale and rent in the UK are less likely to have batteries that burn when punctured and won’t catch fire, which is of vital importance in a warehouse scenario or wherever workers are present.

If you look at CESAB Li-on forklift sales & hire at Angus, you’ll see that despite these batteries’ impressive capacity, they often feature a “speedy charging” option that takes approximately one hour, making Lithium-Ion forklifts a perfect rent and buy for a large variety of projects across the UK.

The Lithium-Ion batteries and forklifts available for sale and rental from Angus also feature more extended warranties than lead-acid batteries, and a single battery lasts longer than one workday for most equipment. The cells inside an LFP battery are also sealed and don’t require any maintenance like a lead-acid battery that might need to get topped off with water on occasion.

The increased safety, energy density, and lack of maintenance make this technology highly valued for powering heavy equipment like forklifts, where long hours and heavy loads are the standard.
