A kit for assembling a forklift capable of being either electrically-powered or powered by an internal-combustion source. The kit includes a forklift shell including a chassis and a hydraulic system. The kit further includes an internal-combustion (IC) powertrain including an IC engine, a transmission coupled to the IC engine, a drivetrain coupled with the transmission, and an IC hydraulics pump powered by the IC engine and configured to be coupled with the hydraulic system. The kit further includes an electric powertrain including a battery assembly, an electric motor powered by the battery assembly, a drivetrain coupled with the electric motor, and an electric hydraulics pump powered by the battery assembly and configured to be coupled with the hydraulics system. Where one of the IC powertrain and the electric powertrain is configured to be coupled with the chassis and the hydraulics system for powering operation of the forklift.
