From 1st April, you will no longer be allowed to use reduced-duty Red Diesel in a forklift unless it’s used for agriculture, horticulture, fish farming or forestry. You’ll also need to drain and flush any on-site diesel tanks. For many, the end of Red Diesel implies it is the end for Diesel Forklifts altogether. But there is no need to panic, Jofson can provide plenty of alternatives.
In short, it’s the end of the road for red diesel and maybe diesel forklifts… but not for flexible, reliable and game-changing performance.
Meet the remarkable new Mitsubishi EDiA electric counterbalance truck. It does everything a diesel can do – only better (and much, much cheaper).
Based on industry-standard tests, over a typical 5 year contract, switching from a 2.5 tonne diesel to the electric EDiA could save you £16,000.
