ZEROSTEEL FOR LOWER-EMISSION MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENT

 

We are the first material handling equipment manufacturer to integrate recycled steel from fossil-free electricity and biogas into our product range.

By reducing the reliance on virgin steel, we lower the carbon footprint of the materials used to build our trucks while maintaining the same strength and durability you expect.

A part of our short and long-term environmental targets

Our commitment to sustainability drives us to seek innovative solutions that continually reduce environmental impact. Integrating fossil-free steel into our products is a significant milestone in our journey towards net-zero emissions. 

Steel production has traditionally been a major contributor to carbon emissions. By adopting fossil-free steel, produced without using fossil fuels, we are taking a big step in decreasing the carbon footprint of our sourcing process. This initiative aligns with our environmental objectives and also sets a new standard in the material handling industry.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT FOSSIL-FREE STEEL

What do we mean with ZEROsteel?

ZEROsteel, or fossil-free steel, is steel produced from recycled scrap metal. It uses only fossil-free fuels and electricity, significantly reducing carbon emissions.

What are the main benefits of using a truck with ZEROsteel?

The main advantage compared to a product made from iron ore-based steel is the possibility of achieving the same levels of quality, tolerance, and material properties as before but with a lower CO₂ footprint in the materials. 

Does fossel-free steel affect the performance or durability of forklifts?

No, fossil-free steel meets the same high-quality standards as traditional steel. It offers the same strength, durability, and reliability, ensuring warehouse trucks perform efficiently in demanding environments.

Why is fossel-free steel important for warehouse truck production?

Warehouse trucks play a crucial role in logistics, and reducing their environmental impact starts with sustainable materials. By using fossil-free steel, manufacturers can lower the carbon footprint of their products while supporting a greener supply chain.

How does fossel-free steel contribute to sustainability goals?

Eliminating fossil fuels in steel production drastically reduces CO₂ emissions. This helps companies meet their sustainability targets, align with global climate initiatives, and support customers seeking eco-friendly solutions.
