Electric forklifts can be hindered by wet and corrosive environments, but the nimble yet powerful 3-wheeled AM50 takes rain, snow, and salt water in stride. Its battery-powered sustainability, low maintenance design and unsurpassed turning ability mean it’s perfect for outdoor jobs that previously only engine-powered models could handle.
