How To Choose Electric Forklift And Diesel Forklift?

Let's look at their respective characteristics and usage environment first:

1. Features and working environment of diesel forklifts:

The counterbalanced diesel forklift has a large volume, but it has good stability and is suitable for heavy loads. The use time is unlimited, and the use site is generally outdoors. Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines have better power performance (not easy to stall at low speed, strong overload capacity, and strong long-term operation ability), and low fuel costs. The quantity can be from 0.5 tons to 45 tons.

2. Characteristics and working environment of electric forklifts

Electric forklift is a light-duty indoor lifting and stacking equipment, which focuses on the stacking function because of its light body. It is suitable for handling light and small materials in storey warehouses or other narrow places.

The advantages of the two forklifts

1. Electric forklifts are driven by electricity. Compared with internal combustion forklifts, they have the advantages of no pollution, easy operation, energy saving and high efficiency. With the development of the economy and the improvement of environmental protection and energy saving requirements, electric forklifts are developing rapidly. Market sales are increasing year by year. Especially in ports, warehousing, tobacco, food, textile and other industries, electric forklifts are gradually replacing internal combustion forklifts.

2. Compared with electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts have better stability, are suitable for heavy loads, and have unlimited use time. They are generally used outdoors, such as construction sites and docks.

The two types of forklifts have their own characteristics and shortcomings, and both have their own living space, so there is no one of them that completely replaces the other.
