ARDEX New Zealand Limited Introduces New Electric Forklift
ARDEX is taking another step towards improving its carbon footprint with a new electric forklift for the Christchurch warehouse.
The electric forklift will help minimise the contribution to climate change by reducing reliance on fossil fuels and tailpipe emissions. It will also eliminate diesel emissions which will help improve air quality. Additionally, electric forklifts are typically more fuel-efficient compared to diesel-powered forklifts that are being replaced.
The new electric forklift is another step forward in the journey to sustainability. ARDEX is proud to help make a difference for the environment.
