Basic Kinds of Fuels Used for Forklifts
Forklifts, also referred to as powered lift trucks, are used to do numerous jobs in industrial, construction and distribution environments. These heavy-duty machines are designed to be tough and reliable so they can transport heavy things in all different kinds of conditions and environments. Forklifts can run on many kinds of fuels and thus able to adapt to a lot of different work settings.

Electricity
The electric models produce no emissions and reliable and quiet. These units could operate on industrial-strength large batteries which are made to be able to be successfully recharged about 1500 times throughout their useful lifespan. As electric forklifts generate no exhaust fumes, it is usually the machine of choice and necessity in places that have inadequate ventilation. These forklifts need a charging station somewhere on the premises that is equipped with an eyewash station and emergency acid spill kit because of the batteries. For safety reasons, the charging area has to be well ventilated.

Propane
The modern forklift usually uses liquid propane. Propane offers different advantages over electric and diesel models. For example, propane is normally cheaper compared to electricity. When recharging the battery, there is no need to remove the lift truck from service.

Propane units also offer a much cleaner operation compared to forklifts that are powered by diesel. In most instances, a propane forklift is refueled by simply changing out the propane tank that is empty with a new one which is full. Usually, an off-site supplier would re-fill the tanks. This guarantees a safe, easy and fast re-fueling process.

Diesel and Gasoline
Because forklifts which utilize diesel or gasoline produce smelly exhaust, they need more maintenance. They have fairly high fuel costs too. Because they have a useful and much longer lifespan, they are rather dependable compared to propane or electric models. Re-fueling needs a fuel supply on site that conforms to strict health and safety codes. Diesel and gas models are mostly utilized on rough terrain in outdoor applications, such as on construction sites or in lumber yard environments.
