Operating Cost Work out what one forklift costs to run per hour, per day, per month and per year, from your own energy, maintenance, battery and labour figures. Electric vs LPG vs Diesel Compare the running cost of an electric, LPG and diesel forklift side by side, including purchase price, energy, maintenance and battery replacement, with a break-even period. Total Cost of Ownership Estimate the full 3, 5 or 7 year cost of owning a forklift: purchase, energy, maintenance, battery, labour and other costs, less residual value.

Guides

Electric vs Diesel Forklift: How to Decide Electric or diesel? The decision is made by where the truck works and how many hours it runs. What differs on the spec sheet, and how to cost it with your own numbers. Electric vs LPG Forklift: How to Decide LPG is the compromise between diesel and electric. Where each wins, the ventilation condition buyers overlook, and how to compare running costs without the two common mistakes. How Much Does a Forklift Cost? Why we publish no forklift prices, what the question should be instead, and how to get quotes you can actually compare against each other. Forklift Operating Cost: What It Consists Of The five components of forklift operating cost, why annual hours drive all of them, and what a cost-per-hour figure cannot tell you. Forklift Total Cost of Ownership The TCO formula written out, how to choose between 3, 5 and 7 year scenarios, and what a straight-line cost model deliberately leaves out. Forklift Battery Cost: How to Budget For It Why battery cost belongs in your hourly rate, how lead-acid and lithium-ion really compare, and the minimum-battery-weight trap that catches lithium conversions.

How this site works

Sourced specifications

Every figure is transcribed from a published manufacturer document and shown with its source. Where a figure is not published, the page says "Not specified" rather than guessing.

Honest comparisons

Comparisons highlight which model leads on each specification, only where a direction is objectively better and only when both models published the figure. There is no overall winner, because that depends on your operation.

Your numbers, not ours

The calculators ask for your hours, your energy prices and your maintenance costs. Every assumption is listed. The output is an estimate to compare options with, not a quote.
