Electric Counterbalance Forklift Trucks
Heli offers a complete range of lithium-ion and lead-acid electric counterbalance forklifts from 1 to 10 tonnes, including warehouse equipment. Each Heli lithium-ion forklift undergoes rigorous safety and functionality testing to meet EU standards for electrical, mechanical, and chemical safety. All electric forklifts are available with side-shift and other attachments to suit a range of applications.
Flexible Operating Modes
Heli’s 4-wheel electric forklifts feature three speed modes, tailored for different applications:
S (Slow/Energy Efficient Mode): Prioritises efficiency for lighter tasks.
E (Economical Mode): Standard mode for balanced performance.
P (Performance Mode): Designed for heavy lifting and steep inclines.
Flexible options. Your choice.
At Grant Handling, we prioritise customer choice. Our aim is to recommend the best forklift for your needs, whether that’s the latest lithium-ion model or a traditional gas or diesel option. Together we can assess your application and detailed operational requirements to ensure you have the best forklift for your application.
Lithium-Ion or Lead Acid
Why choose Lithium-Ion Technology?
Lower Cost & Better for the Environment
Lithium-ion batteries are more efficient than lead-acid, converting up to 90% of energy without significant heat loss, and they last longer.
Additional cost-saving benefits include faster charging, reduced maintenance, and no need for dedicated charging rooms. These forklifts also operate with lower noise and zero emissions, making them an eco-friendly choice.
Flexible Charging
Lithium-ion batteries allow for “opportunity charging,” meaning staff can quickly recharge the battery during short breaks. Convenient wall plug stations can be placed around the warehouse, supporting quick boosts without long charging times.
Safety
Lithium-ion batteries are sealed, preventing acid spills and corrosion. A sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) monitors cell temperatures, reducing risks of overcharging or overheating.
Lithium-Ion at a glance
- Eco-Friendly: Zero emissions, low noise, free of heavy metals.
- Low Maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep, no fluid top-ups, and reduced dust.
- High Efficiency: Energy conversion rate above 95%.
- Flexible Charging: Fast recharging to extend working time.
- Long Service Life: Retains over 75% capacity after 4,000 charge cycles.
- Reliable in Low Temperatures: Operates effectively between -25°C to 0°C.
- Safe Operation: Sealed batteries and intelligent BMS for added safety.

The Heli Intelligent Battery Management System (BMS) is designed to enhance safety, efficiency, and longevity in lithium-ion forklifts, offering advanced monitoring and protective features that ensure reliable performance in any application.
The Heli BMS has intelligence as standard
- Automatic power-off
- Over-voltage and overheating protection
- Short circuit and discharge safeguards
- BMS self-protection, low temperature charging with automatic heating function
- Self-test and low battery protection
Why choose a Lead-Acid Solution?
Environmentally Friendly and Safe
Electric forklifts produce zero emissions, which significantly improves air quality in indoor and on-site locations. They operate quietly and generate less heat, creating a safer, more comfortable work environment with minimal noise pollution.
Lower Operating Costs
Electric forklifts reduce costs by using more affordable electricity instead of LPG or diesel. They require less maintenance, as they have fewer parts and no need for frequent fluid changes, resulting in lower operational costs and reduced downtime.
Smooth Performance
With precise control, electric forklifts are ideal for indoor tasks that require steady, reliable movement. They operate quietly and emission free, ensuring a cleaner work environment and deliver consistent power for a variety of applications.
Battery Recycling
Lead-acid batteries in electric forklifts are nearly 100% recyclable. Key materials are repurposed to make new batteries, and acid is neutralised, reducing waste and supporting a sustainable, circular process.
Lead-Acid at a glance
- Affordable: Low initial cost and maintenance.
- Recyclable: Nearly all components are reusable.
- Workplace-Friendly: Quiet operation, no emissions.
- Long Service Life: Durable with at least a five-year warranty.
- Enhanced Control: Advanced technology for precise handling.
