Marketing development | Comparison of costs The developments of electric for counterbalance forklift and storage technology were characterized most recently by CLARK. Resistor controls and DC series motors were used in the 1980s in the electrically driven industrial truck. Thyristor-technology and shunt motors has led to the current position of mature AC-technology. The marketing development of electrical driven forklifts has shown that these technical developments have led to an approximation of the market volume. The booming years of the forklift may have gone in the immediate future, but the development of the market figures show that as soon as cost saving forklifts are in demand, the electrical forklift gain the upper hand again.
