What Is The Decibel Noise Level Of A Pure Electric Forklift? How Can Electric Forklifts Reduce Noise?

Oct 24, 2025

1, How many decibels is the noise of a pure electric forklift

In industrial settings, noise has always been a concern. As industrial handling vehicles, forklifts that traditionally use internal combustion engines as power sources have relatively high noise levels. The emergence of electric forklifts has reduced working noise and is therefore popular. So, what is the noise level of pure electric forklifts?

Generally speaking, the noise of electric forklifts mainly comes from the sound of motors, reducers, and tires rubbing against the ground inside the cab. Compared with internal combustion engine forklifts, the noise is about 10-20 decibels lower. Under normal circumstances, the noise of electric forklifts is between 70 and 80 decibels, and the working noise of some silent electric forklifts can even be as low as about 55 decibels.

2, The source of noise from electric forklifts

There are three main reasons for the noise generated by electric forklifts:

1. The noise generated by the friction between the tire and the ground.

2. The noise caused by the electromagnetic interference emitted by the motor during operation.

3. The noise generated by friction between the components of the transmission device during gear meshing.

3, How can electric forklifts reduce noise

The noise of forklifts can cause physical and mental health problems for operators. Electric forklifts have relatively low noise levels, but sometimes they can also be harsh. Generally, to reduce the noise of electric forklifts, in addition to purchasing silent electric forklifts, there are two other methods:

1. Revamping the existing electric forklift: The tires of the electric forklift can be replaced with low-noise tires, the transmission device can be adjusted, and the working efficiency of individual components of the forklift can be reduced.

2. Installing noise reduction equipment: Installing noise reduction equipment on shock absorbers and tires can effectively reduce the walking noise of electric forklifts.

In addition, when operating an electric forklift, drivers can also reduce the impact of noise on their eardrums by wearing earplugs or earmuffs.
