Used Komatsu Dual Fuel Forklifts Elk Grove

Dual Fuel Engine
The Dual Fuel engine is a type of engine which utilizes a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or could work off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of working on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not use spark plugs.

Because the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machine does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. Like for example, the fuel efficiency can be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100 percent load. It can even be lower or higher loads.

Lift Truck Classification and Fuel Sources
There are some recycling materials handling applications which can prove extremely challenging for lift trucks. Like for example, scrap metal is amongst these problems. To be able to successfully handle items like this requires using the right kind of machinery for the job.

There are 7 major lift truck classes, including power sources such as hydrogen fuel cell, liquid propane gas, electric, gasoline and diesel. The power source is linked to some of these particular classes. The main power sources for forklifts consist of Diesel, Gasoline, Battery, Fuel Cell and Propane.

The most common overall are electric powered trucks, mostly in Class I, II and class III forklifts. In Classes V and IV, internal combustion trucks are more popular. The most popular electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Out of internal combustion trucks, about over 90% are powered by propane.

The most popular power source for lift trucks is battery. Battery powered units make up around 60 percent of the new forklifts sold within the United States. Their benefits consist of: less maintenance requirements, quiet operation, the ability to be used inside and outdoors with no harmful emissions.
