In June 2026, a customer in Colombia found YG Machinery through Google while looking for an EV forklift to improve daily material handling. The customer needed to move and load goods efficiently while reducing dependence on fuel-powered equipment and controlling operating costs. Maneuverability, stable lifting performance, cleaner operation, and reliable performance during repeated handling were among the customer’s main concerns.
Instead of sending a standard quotation, our engineers first discussed the customer’s actual working conditions, including load weight, lifting height, operating environment, working frequency, and available space. Based on these requirements, YG Machinery recommended a suitable electric forklift configuration, and the customer ultimately ordered four units for daily material handling.

Challenges Faced by the Customer
- Frequent Material Handling Required Reliable Equipment
The customer needed to move materials regularly throughout the working day.
For this type of operation, a forklift must provide consistent lifting and driving performance. Frequent interruptions caused by unsuitable equipment can slow down the entire material handling process.
The customer therefore prioritized reliable operation and easy handling rather than simply choosing the lowest purchase price.
- Operating Costs Were an Important Concern
Fuel and routine maintenance costs can become significant when a forklift is used frequently.
The customer was looking for a more economical power solution for daily handling work.
An EV forklift offered an attractive alternative because its battery-powered drive system can reduce dependence on fuel and simplify routine maintenance compared with conventional internal-combustion equipment.
- The Customer Needed Flexible Material Handling
The forklift needed to work efficiently within the customer’s existing facility.
Good maneuverability was therefore important for moving goods between different working areas, positioning loads, and completing loading and unloading tasks.
A machine that is too large or difficult to control can reduce efficiency even when it has sufficient lifting capacity.
YG Machinery’s Solution
After reviewing the customer’s requirements, YG Machinery recommended four electric forklifts configured for the customer’s material handling needs.
Rather than focusing only on the number of machines, our engineers considered the customer’s working environment and daily operating requirements when selecting the equipment.
The solution focused on four key areas:
- Reliable lifting performance: The electric forklifts provide stable lifting and handling performance for routine material movement.
- Battery-powered operation: The electric drive system eliminates exhaust emissions during operation and helps reduce fuel-related operating costs.
- Easy maneuverability: The forklift configuration allows operators to move and position loads efficiently within the working area.
- Simple daily operation: Smooth electric driving and lifting control help operators perform repeated handling tasks with less unnecessary effort.
The customer ultimately ordered four EV forklifts from YG Machinery.
Why an EV Forklift Was a Good Fit?
An EV forklift can be particularly useful when a business wants to combine reliable material handling with lower day-to-day operating costs.
Compared with traditional fuel-powered forklifts, battery-powered equipment offers several practical advantages:
- No exhaust emissions during operation
- Lower operating noise
- Reduced fuel consumption
- Fewer engine-related maintenance requirements
- Smooth acceleration and lifting control
- Suitable for indoor and semi-indoor handling environments
For the Colombian customer’s application, these characteristics provided a practical balance between handling performance and operating economy.
Four EV Forklifts Prepared for Shipment
After the configuration was confirmed, YG Machinery arranged production and preparation of the four electric forklift trucks.
Before shipment, the machines were inspected and prepared for international transportation.
The shipment preparation included checking:
- Forklift operating condition
- Lifting system
- Driving system
- Electrical components
- Forks and mast
- Overall machine condition
The four forklifts were then prepared for shipment to Colombia.

Customer Receives the Forklifts
After the equipment arrived in Colombia, the customer put the forklifts into daily operation.
The machines were used for routine material handling, including moving and positioning goods within the customer’s working facility.
The customer particularly appreciated the forklifts’:
- Smooth operation
- Easy maneuverability
- Stable lifting performance
- Cleaner electric operation
- Convenience for daily material handling
The equipment helped the customer handle routine transportation and lifting tasks more efficiently without relying entirely on manual labor.
Customer Feedback
After putting the four forklifts into operation, the customer gave positive feedback to YG Machinery.
The customer was satisfied with the overall equipment performance and the convenience of electric operation.
What mattered most to the customer was not simply receiving four new machines, but having equipment that could fit naturally into their daily workflow.
The customer also appreciated the communication and technical support provided during the purchasing process.
For an international equipment purchase, this is especially important. Customers need more than a machine price—they need a supplier that can help them understand the configuration, prepare the equipment correctly, and provide support throughout the order process.
