Used Daewoo Dual Fuel Forklifts Elk Grove

Basic Fuel Types of Forklifts
Forklifts are powered lift trucks that are utilized in a wide variety of industries to move heavy supplies and products. Forklifts are durable and reliable machines that are necessary tools in construction and warehouse settings. Forklift models vary depending on the kind of fuel which is used to power the lift truck and the type of work setting.

Electricity
Electric powered lift trucks are best for indoor settings, or in sites with limited ventilation as they produce no exhaust fumes. They are designed with industrial strength batteries. As the electric lift truck batteries need charging, the worksite should have a charging station. The batteries are tough and could be re-charged up to 1,500 times before they have to be replaced. The charging station must be located in a ventilated area and include an acid spill kit and an emergency eyewash station.

Propane
Forklifts powered by liquid propane have some benefits over electric and diesel powered equipment making them fairly common in warehouse and industrial settings. Propane engines are much cleaner than diesel-powered units. There is no down time needed to recharge an industrial battery, and the cost for propane is less than the cost of electricity. A lift truck propane tank can be quickly and easily refueled 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
Gasoline and Diesel lift trucks are the machinery of choice for rough terrain and outdoor applications. They are usually found on lumber yards and construction sites. Their disadvantages comprise relatively high maintenance needs, odorous exhaust and fairly high fuel costs. Their advantages include a longer lifespan compared to other units and dependability in tough conditions. Diesel and gasoline units would need to be refueled at a supply station on site that meets health and safety regulations.
