An electric forklift is a battery-operated truck with forks that can lift and move heavy loads. It is typically used in warehouses, logistics depots, or for loading and unloading materials and goods from transport vehicles.

The powertrain and the hydraulic system actuating the lifting mechanism rely typically on a permanent-magnet DC motor (PMDC) controlled by the associated high-power low-voltage inverters which represents the heart of the on-board electronics in a forklift.

Our offer includes an extensive range of 32-bit STM32 microcontrollers, our STripFET™ F7 series of low-voltage MOSFETs together with high-performance operational amplifiers and comparators, switching and linear regulators and a comprehensive range of software and hardware evaluation tools to help reduce development time and cost to help in building scalable, high-efficiency drive solutions for forklifts and other vehicles used to lift and move materials.
