A Market in Transition: Why Italy is Moving to Lithium
Italian companies are facing increasing pressure to:
Improve operational efficiency
Reduce CO₂ emissions
Lower maintenance and energy costs
Optimize space in often compact facilities
Support sustainability goals and green building standards
Traditional diesel and lead-acid solutions are rapidly losing ground. Lithium-ion technology offers faster charging, opportunity charging, zero emissions, minimal maintenance, and long-term cost efficiency. JEAKUE has positioned itself as a practical, accessible lithium partner – delivering performance without unnecessary complexity.
Wine Industry: Tradition Meets Technological Innovation
Terre del Barolo – Compact Power in the Heart of the Langhe
In the historic wine region of the Langhe, Terre del Barolo needed a compact and flexible solution to optimize warehouse operations and barrel storage areas. Space constraints, charging limitations, and the need for versatility were limiting productivity.
Tight turning radius (from 1450 mm) for narrow cellar layouts
80V/205Ah lithium battery with integrated charger
Charging via standard 220V outlet
Smooth indoor and outdoor performance
The result was immediate: improved material flow, reduced downtime, lower energy costs, and increased operator comfort.
As Alessandro, Maintenance Manager, stated:
“The lithium battery allows us to recharge using a normal 220V socket. Operations have become incredibly more practical. We are very satisfied with its performance.”
Giacosa Fratelli – Supporting a Nearly Zero-Emission Facility
Reduce CO₂ emissions
Eliminate lead-acid battery management
Enable fast, flexible charging
Improve productivity during peak seasons
CEO Maurizio summarized the transition clearly:
“With JK’s lithium forklifts and pallet trucks, we are reducing our environmental impact while improving efficiency.”
Industrial Manufacturing: Efficiency in Demanding Environments
Corti Marmi e Graniti – From Diesel to Lithium Powered by Solar Energy
In the marble and stone industry, heavy loads and mixed indoor-outdoor operations are the norm. Corti Marmi e Graniti faced high operating costs and emission issues with diesel forklifts.
Over 600 operating hours within months
Zero emissions
Minimal maintenance requirements
No battery charging costs thanks to solar energy
The owner explained:
“We chose JEAKUE because it aligns with our sustainability efforts. The forklift exceeded expectations, and we plan to gradually replace all diesel vehicles with lithium.”
Interpump Hydraulics – Lithium Performance in Tight Spaces
Compact design for narrow aisles
Fast charging with no maintenance requirements
Improved operator comfort
The feedback from operators highlights a key factor in JK’s growth: user acceptance.
E-Commerce and Logistics: Speed Meets Reliability
Atida eFarma – Powering High-Speed Order Fulfillment
Faster material handling
Reduced downtime
High maneuverability across multiple levels
Plug-and-play battery flexibility
Logistics Manager Luciano highlighted the importance of responsiveness:
“We are very satisfied with the trucks and dealer support — it matches the speed of our e-commerce!”
SMEs and Logistics Upgrades: Building Long-Term Partnerships
Arredotec – Modernising Warehouse Operations
Faster material handling
Improved loading processes
User-friendly daily operations
The collaboration reflects JK’s broader growth model in Italy: close cooperation with local dealers, tailored fleet configurations, and long-term support.
A Clear Trend: Lithium is Becoming the Standard
Across all these sectors, a consistent pattern emerges:
Companies initially seek efficiency improvements.
They adopt lithium to solve operational constraints.
They experience reduced downtime and lower costs.
They plan further fleet electrification.
JEAKUE is not simply supplying forklifts, it is enabling a structural transition in Italian material handling.
Why JK Lithium Trucks Are Gaining Trust in Italy
Opportunity charging via standard outlets
Zero emissions for indoor environments
Lower total cost of ownership
Minimal maintenance requirements
Compact design for space optimisation
Strong dealer network and local support
Trust is built not only on technical specifications, but on measurable operational results – and Italian customers are seeing those results firsthand.
The Future of JEAKUE in Italy
Italy’s industrial and agricultural sectors are deeply rooted in tradition. Yet they are proving equally capable of embracing innovation when it delivers tangible value.
