Welcome to the most haunted room in the warehouse....

A flickering light over the door. A watering schedule nobody remembers who signed off on. A ventilation system that never gets a day off. And somebody swapping a battery halfway through the shift.

It's not a ghost story....It's a lead-acid charging room.

Big Joe integrated lithium-ion forklifts don't need any of it. No watering, no battery swapping, no ventilation systems, no charging room. One battery, one truck, ready for the next shift.

Let the charging room rest in peace.

The scariest things you can hear in a warehouse, ranked. 🎃

5. "Who watered the batteries last?"
4. "Can someone prop the dock door? It smells like exhaust in here."
3. "Truck's dead. Where's the spare battery?"
2. "We're going to need a bigger charging room."
1. "The battery vendor says it's the truck. The truck vendor says it's the battery."

Big Joe integrated lithium-ion forklifts have an answer for all five. One battery, one truck, one integrated system. No watering, no swapping, no charging room, no indoor emissions.

If you spot a pallet mover crossing the floor with nobody on it, relax. Your warehouse isn't haunted. 👻

It's the AP44 from Big Joe Autonomous Solutions. An operator selects a mission, and it handles the floor-to-floor pallet run. Need it back? Switch to manual mode anytime.

It sets up in under one hour and only needs a wi-fi connection. No floor wires, no QR codes.

Aging forklifts can slow operations and increase costs. Internal combustion trucks require frequent refueling, while poorly maintained lead-acid batteries lose capacity, leading to more charging, more battery swaps, and less productive time on the floor.

GEODIS a leading warehousing and global logistics solutions provider, sought to make improvements to its forklift fleet at its contract logistics facility in Wisconsin. They invested in 22 integrated lithium-ion battery-powered forklifts from Big Joe to replace their lead-acid powered equipment. “It was time to upgrade our fleet, and with our continuing issues associated with handling and maintaining lead-acid batteries, it just made sense to go with Big Joe’s integrated lithium-ion forklifts,” says Gary Lakin, Director of Operations at the GEODIS facility.

That is why Big Joe designs electric forklifts to support a more intuitive operating experience helping operators stay comfortable, maintain better awareness, and move product with precision in demanding warehouse environments.

When a forklift is simple and intuitive to use, the result is more than a smoother ride. It can support safer operation, reduce operator strain, and keep work moving.

Mile High City, mile high energy. 🏔️ Last week our Sales & Marketing team came together in Denver for our Year End Meeting.

We dug into our product roadmap, talked through new ways to support our dealers, and worked on improving our processes so we can serve customers even better. We also took a DISC assessment together, which gave everyone a clearer picture of their communication style and some great insight into how we can work better as a team.

Of course, we made time to have fun too. A night at F1 Arcade USA in downtown Denver revealed that a few of our teammates have been hiding some serious driving skills. 🏎️

We left Denver energized, aligned, and fired up for a strong finish to Q4. And 2027? We can’t wait to show you what’s coming. ⚡ Thanks to everyone who made the trip and brought their best.
