The choice of electric forklift truck and diesel forklifts mainly depends on the requirements of your environment. They have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of product characteristics. Below we first look at their respective characteristics and use environment:
1. Features and working environment of diesel forklifts:
Counterbalanced diesel forklifts are large in size, but have good stability and are suitable for heavy loads. The use time is unlimited, and the place of use is generally outdoors. Compared with gasoline engines, diesel engines have better power performance (low speed is not easy to extinguish, overload capacity, long-term operation ability), low fuel costs. However, large vibration, large noise, large displacement, self-heavy weight, high price, and heavy load The volume can range from 0.5 tons to 45 tons.
2. Features and working environment of electric forklifts
Electric forklift truck is a kind of light indoor lifting and stacking equipment, which focuses on stacking function because of its light body. It is suitable for the transportation of 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 economy and the improvement of environmental protection and energy saving requirements, electric forklift truck are developing rapidly. Market sales are increasing year by year. Especially in the port, storage and tobacco, food, textile and other industries, electric forklift truck are gradually replacing internal combustion forklifts.
2. Compared with electric forklifts, internal combustion forklifts have good stability and are suitable for heavy loads. The use time is unlimited. The use sites are generally outdoors, such as construction sites and docks.
The two types of forklifts have their own different characteristics and deficiencies, and also have their own living space, so there is no one of them to completely replace the other
