Wiggins continues to revolutionize the forklift industry with its upcoming hydrogen-electric forklift, available in late 2023 via XL Lifts.
XL Lifts, specializing in zero and low emissions forklifts, today announced additional World Lift and Wiggins forklifts are now eligible to participate in California’s Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE) and now qualify for up to $500,000 in incentives. Amounts vary based on lifting capacity, voltage output of chargers and location of forklift operations. Eligible forklifts include the World Lithium, an 8,820-pound lifting capacity, all-weather lithium-ion forklift 
for indoor and outdoor use, and several Wiggins Lift eBull forklifts with lifting capacity up to 70,000 pounds for indoor and outdoor use.
Base forklift vouchers are up to $500,000 per forklift and up to $30,000 for infrastructure. CORE also offers additional incentives for companies operating in CARB-approved disadvantaged communities. Vouchers are based on a first-come basis, so interested companies are encouraged to see if they qualify now. See the list of qualified forklifts.
“XL Lifts (a World and Wiggins Fo
rklift dealer) is excited to offer its customers a cost-effective way to purchase zero-emission lithium forklifts,” said Mike Marzahl, President of XL Lifts. “Similar to the incentives previously offered for electric vehicles, we anticipate limited or reduced funding in the future. As a result, we strongly encourage our customers to take advantage of available funds now.”
The CORE program is intended to encourage California freight equipment users to purchase or lease currently commercialized zero-emission off-road freight equipment. This streamlined voucher incentive project helps offset the higher cost of zero-emission technology with a point-of-sale discount. There is no scrappage of existing forklift required.
XL Lifts is excited to offer organizations a way to test drive the all new, award-winning and grant-approved World Lithium forklift. Partially funded by the California Air Resource Board’s Clean Off-Road Equipment Voucher Incentive Project (CORE), our demo unit is an advanced lithium powered 8,820 lb. @ a 24” load center capacity forklift. XL Lifts also offers lithium forklifts with up to 88,000 lb. capacity to meet a wide variety of lifting needs. The World forklift demo unit can be used indoor and outdoor and emits zero emissions. The program is open to companies with operations in California. Demos are subject to availability. Demo forklift will be delivered to qualified companies starting in mid-January 2021 (subject to change due to California Stay at Home Orders). Shipping/delivery fees may apply (depending on location).

New Forklift Line Eliminates Need to Purchase Both Indoor and Outdoor Forklift Fleets
Ventura, CA — World Forklift West, a World Lift master distributor, and XL Lifts, specializing in zero and low emissions forklifts and a World Lift dealer, today announced the 2020 World Lithium forklift, the industry’s first low-capacity lithium electric forklift for indoor and outdoor use.
The second-generation all-weather World Lithium Forklift is designed specifically for use with lithium batteries and outside use. Other standard brand forklift companies are still offering a first-generation converted lead-acid forklift that uses steel plates inside the lithium battery housing as counterweight to compensate for the weight of a lead acid battery. The result is a significantly heavier, wider and bulkier lift that does not work outside or inside tight turning radius quarters.
Because the 2020 World Lithium is designed for lithium, it boasts a streamlined footprint that enables the forklift to operate in small working areas or sharp turning radius requirements, without compromising on lifting capacity. For example, the World Lithium 8,000 lb. capacity requires the same space/area as a conventional 5,000 lb. or 6,000 lb. LPG forklift.
“Beyond the upfront cost savings, the newly designed World Lithium forklift utilizes fast charging lithium ion batteries making World Lithium forklifts one of the first lower-capacity zero emissions forklifts to run continuous shifts with brief opportunity charging on breaks, lunches and between shifts,” said Peter Vaz, President of World Lift. “The result is minimal downtime for increased productivity without the bigger and bulkier footprint of older lead-acid battery converted forklifts. We are thrilled to introduce this innovative electric forklift to the market.”
“XL Lifts (a World Forklift dealer) is excited to offer its customers a second-generation zero-emission forklift alternative that can be used in all-weather conditions — even in the rain and snow. This innovation means that companies no longer need to purchase two forklifts, such as an LPG/diesel and an electric forklift, one for outdoors and one for indoors,” said President of XL Lifts Mike Marzahl. “Plus, with the ability to be charged outdoors*, companies no longer have to allocate precious and expensive indoor space or battery rooms to house and charge their World Lithium forklifts, like they currently need to with their lead-acid electric forklifts.”
Currently, some industries, have had no choice, but to purchase multiple forklift fleets of forklifts for indoor and outdoor use. For example, agriculture and warehousing companies need to move produce or product from field outside trucks using LPG or diesel forklifts, to a staging area, and finally to and inside the cooling plant or enclosed warehouse using an electric forklift. But now, with the all-weather, zero emissions World Lithium Forklift, agriculture and warehousing companies can unload produce and product from field trucks and move pallets of inventory directly into the cooling plant(s) or warehouse using just one forklift, saving significant time and money. This would also apply to companies who are in the material handling business – such as freight, transportation, distribution, warehousing

*Outdoor charging feature available when used in conjunction with the XLerator outdoor battery charger.
Ventura, CA — XL Lifts, specializing in zero and low emissions forklifts, today announced the availability of the XLerator line of forklift battery chargers. XLerator battery chargers are universal so operations with forklifts from multiple product lines and brands (or even ones that use different battery types like lithium and lead acid) can turn to a single forklift battery charger company to power their entire fleet of forklifts. Free from the constraints of having to buy a specific charger for each forklift brand, companies can now more easily update their electric forklift fleets with reduced infrastructure costs. In addition, the XLerator’s weather-resistant design* means forklifts can be charged outdoors, freeing up precious and expensive indoor space.
“We are ecstatic to offer our customers a forklift battery charger that is flexible in its design and its configuration,” said Mike Marzahl, President of XL Lifts, the creators of the XLerator line of forklift battery chargers. “Our XLerator battery chargers will free companies from the current constraints of powering electric material handling equipment and ultimately save them both time and money.”
