Driven by electrical efficiency

The premium Konecranes E-VER electric forklift has been making waves in lift truck markets with intense customer interest and excellent feedback.

With the growing industry demand for low-carbon solutions, an increase in capacity to 18-25 tons for the Konecranes E-VER electric forklift allows this new range to add significant strength to an already innovative system design, giving the E-VER wider versatility for tough applications in heavy industries such as steel, concrete, mining and ports, while never compromising on performance.

The new 18-to-25-ton Konecranes E-VER is intended for heavy-duty industrial applications with low energy consumption and zero tailpipe emissions. It uses a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery that powers highly efficient electric motors for traction and hydraulics.
Easily adaptable to the local power grid, it allows fast charging under an hour and top-ups from braking energy during busy work shifts, and slower charging when not in use. A combination of high voltage and low current reduces energy consumption and losses, allowing the truck to use up to 90% of available energy.;

Comfort and safety are further enhanced by ergonomic controls, high visibility and smooth movement with less noise and vibration.

The E-VER is built in easy-access modules with the same sturdy frame design, steer axle and lifting equipment as a diesel forklift. With fewer moving parts and no gearbox, maintenance costs you less time and money.

Zero tailpipe emissions mean the equipment produces no CO₂ exhaust during operation. However, emissions may still exist in other parts of equipment's lifecycle for example manufacturing, logistics and how the energy powering the equipment – electricity – is generated. For example, if the electricity used to power the equipment is produced using fossil fuels, upstream emissions can be significant.
