Daewoo Dual Fuel Forklifts San Jose

Basic Fuel Types of Forklifts

Forklifts are powered lift trucks which are used in various kinds of industries to move heavy supplies and items. Forklifts are durable and reliable machinery which are necessary tools in warehouse and construction settings. Forklift models differ depending on the type of work setting and the kind of fuel which is utilized to power the lift truck.



Electricity

Electric forklifts are recommended for work sites that have limited ventilation since they make no exhaust fumes and are fairly quiet. They are designed to be powered by large, industrial-strength batteries. Because the electric lift truck batteries should be charging, the worksite must have a charging station. The batteries are durable and can be re-charged up to 1,500 times before they need to be replaced. The charging station must be situated in a ventilated area and include an emergency eyewash station and an acid spill kit.



Propane

Liquid propane powered forklifts are frequently used in modern industrial operations since propane has some benefits over electric and diesel. Propane models are cleaner to use compared to diesel-powered units. There is no down time required to recharge an industrial battery, and the cost for propane is less than the cost of electricity. A forklift propane tank can be refueled quickly and easily by changing out the empty tank with a full tank. Usually an off-site supplier refills the empty tank, making refueling really safe and efficient.



Gasoline and Gas

For outdoor applications and rough terrain, the gas and diesel forklifts are the machines of choice. These equipment are quite common on construction sites and in lumber yards. Their disadvantages comprise fairly high maintenance needs, odorous exhaust and relatively high fuel costs. Their advantages comprise a longer lifespan than other units and dependability in tough conditions. Diesel and gasoline units will need to be refueled at a supply station on site that meets health and safety policies.
