Caterpillar Propane Forklifts El Paso

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



Electric engines cost less to maintain over their lifetime as they need a lot less maintenance. The battery must last at least five years if the manufacturer's maintenance and charging guidelines are followed. Overnight charging expenses are normally low. Electric trucks tend to be highly maneuverable and compact units, particularly the three-wheel models. Drive, tilt, lift, acceleration and auxiliary speeds are adaptable and can be changed depending on the use and the preferences of the driver. Electric trucks are easier on the environment and are not noisy.



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



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