Early battery powered transport – here a forklift truck is being used to transport sacks at E D and Co Ltd, a shipping and warehousing company at Liverpool Docks, Lancashire, England, UK in the early years of the twentieth century. In the early years of motor transport electrically-powered vehicles were a good option compared with petrol driven ones for short-distance commercial transport, such as moving goods around factories. This is taken from an old original glass negative – a vintage 20th century photograph.
