Rosendin Electric, the nation’s largest private electrical contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, has always been an advocate of LEED sustainable construction and green building practices. As part of its commitment to promote ecological responsibility, the contractor recently deployed a fleet of all-electric forklifts in its Bay Area warehouses.
Its fleet of propane-powered forklifts were replaced for its supply yard in both its San Jose headquarters and in San Francisco. The switchover will both reduce pollutants from the propane emissions and will save energy by using smart-chargers to recharge the forklifts during off-peak hours. An added advantage to the migration is better safety in the warehouse. The forklift controls are completely programmable, including limiting the maximum speed, making them safer to operate.
