There is an increasing requirement for indoor forkliftsย for large warehouses. However, fossil fuel forklifts aren't ideal to use indoors because of atmospheric emissions, and electric battery forklifts requires charging time which takes too long, making it inconvenient for one to use the other while charging. However, the indoor fuel cell forklift market is expected to grow and Plug power has recently succeeded in commercializing hydrogen fuel cell forklift.
