JCB lifts green award

Providing further evidence of the impact that eco-friendly products are having, JCB has won an award recognising the environmental benefits of the electric variant of its Teletruk telescopic forklift.

The JCB 30-19E lifted The Environment Award from the Fork Lift Truck Association. Judges said the machine was “ideal for urban environments” thanks to its zero emissions and low noise levels. 

The unit is powered by an 80V lead acid battery that is claimed to enable it to operate for a full eight hour shift on a single charge.

Pictured left-to-right with the award are JCB's Rod Scott, Paul Wild, Sam Wilkinson and Lee Harper.
