Caterpillar Propane Forklifts Tucson

There are advantages and disadvantages to utilizing both electric and internal combustion (IC) trucks.



Electric engines cost less to maintain over their lifetime since they require much less maintenance. The battery should last five years minimum if the manufacturer's charging and maintenance guidelines are followed. Overnight charging expenses are generally low. Electric trucks tend to be highly maneuverable and compact units, particularly the types with three wheels. Drive, lift, tilt, auxiliary and acceleration speeds are adjustable and could be changed depending on the use and the driver's preferences. Electric trucks are easier on the environment and are not noisy.



Electric trucks are not suitable for use in wet conditions. Due to the need for battery recharging, they cannot be used continuously. They are not suited to rough terrain. The energy consumption is high on continuous high lifts and ramp work.



IC engine diesel/LPG has the advantage of being suitable for continuous outdoor application and uneven surfaces. With no requirement for battery charging, the forklift can be used during the evening and overnight. Transport and supply of fuel should be factored into expenses. Initial costs are less than for an electric truck, but long term costs related to fuel and maintenance are higher. IC engines have bigger capacities compared to electric, but less adaptability. LPG could be utilized in some indoor applications. IC Engine diesel/LPG makes higher emissions and more noise than electric. LPG has lower emissions compared to diesel.
