Used Caterpillar Propane Forklifts Portland

Used Caterpillar Propane Forklifts Portland

Utilizing both internal combustion (IC) and electric trucks have various advantages and disadvantages.

Electric engines need less maintenance, and hence they cost less to maintain over their life span. The battery must last at least five years if the manufacturer's charging and maintenance guidelines are followed. Costs for overnight charging are generally low. Electric trucks tend to be very maneuverable and compact units, particularly the three-wheel models. Drive, lift, tilt, auxiliary and acceleration speeds are adaptable and can be changed depending on the application and the preferences of the driver. Electric trucks are quiet, and are easier on the natural environment.

Not suitable to be utilized during wet conditions are electric trucks. Because of the need for battery recharging, they cannot be constantly used. 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 utilized during the evening and overnight. Supply and transport of fuel should be factored into costs. Initial costs are less than for an electric truck, but long term expenses connected to maintenance and fuel are higher. IC engines have bigger capacities compared to electric, but less adaptability. LPG can be utilized in several indoor applications. IC Engine diesel/LPG makes more noise and higher emissions compared to electric. LPG has lower emissions compared to diesel.
