POWER GUIDE / APPLICATION BEFORE ASSUMPTION

Electric or diesel?
Start with context.

The better power direction depends on the workplace, duty pattern, infrastructure, destination requirements and confirmed configuration.

ELECTRIC / HEAVY INDUSTRY

01 / SIDE-BY-SIDE

Compare the operating system,
not only the power source.

These are evaluation questions, not universal performance claims. Final suitability depends on the selected model and operating conditions.

Decision area	Electric	Diesel
Typical evaluation context	Indoor, mixed or controlled operations where charging can be planned.	Relevant outdoor, yard or loading operations where diesel power is suitable.
Energy planning	Battery chemistry, capacity, charger, shift length and charging window.	Fuel availability, engine configuration and destination requirements.
Workplace questions	Route, floor, charging area, temperature and electrical supply.	Surface, gradients, weather, ventilation, noise and local rules.
Configuration focus	Battery, charger, tyres, mast, forks and attachments.	Engine, emissions, tyres, mast, forks and attachments.
ZJ range	E10–E100 electric counterbalance, plus S20 and P30 warehouse equipment.	D30, D35*, D40 and D50 counterbalance forklifts.

* The supplied D35 capacity value is anomalous and requires confirmation from the current technical sheet.

02 / DECISION QUESTIONS

01
Where will the truck work?
Indoor, outdoor or mixed; surface, weather, ventilation and temperature.
02
How long and how often?
Hours per shift, shifts per day, travel distance, peaks and idle periods.
03
What infrastructure exists?
Charging location and electrical supply, or fuel handling and storage arrangements.
04
What does the destination require?
Confirm engine, emissions, electrical supply, documentation and applicable local rules.
05
What is the complete cost picture?
Request comparable configuration, energy assumptions, maintenance scope, delivery and terms.
