As we move toward more sustainable practices as a nation and as an industry, Papé Material Handling is leading the way on supplying electric-powered equipment for warehouses across the West. In this edition of the Papé Material Handling blog, let’s take a look at the benefits of going electric along with some of the electric-powered equipment we’re offering in our inventory.

Benefits of Going Electric

There are many benefits to using more electric-powered equipment in your warehouse. Along with reduced noise pollution and the use of more modern, ergonomically-designed equipment, let’s take a look at the top 4 benefits of going electric.

#1 Environmental Sustainability

All in all, electric-powered equipment is much better for the environment. By eliminating exhaust emissions, electric-powered equipment has a very small environmental footprint, leading to more sustainable industry practices.

#2 Less Maintenance

Electric-powered equipment has fewer components, which means that the machinery requires less maintenance. Say goodbye to regular fluid refills and spend more time getting the job done.

#3 Cost Savings on Fuel

Looking to reduce warehousing operational costs long-term? When you go electric, you may pay more upfront, but over time, you and your fleet will enjoy extensive cost-savings benefits. Plus with the rising price of gas, now is the perfect time to lead the charge to electrification–both for our environment and for our wallets.

#4 Tax Rebates

In some states, companies are eligible for tax rebates for going electric. Learn more about these incentives and inquire about your state-specific rebate.

Here at Papé, we are committed to leading the way for more environmentally sustainable practices. From factory and warehouse equipment to agriculture and construction equipment, we’re stocking our inventory with a host of electric-powered vehicles, including utility vehicles, tow tractors, haulers, and more.
