1.How to choose a forklift?
When selecting a forklift, the main criteria to be considered are carrying capacity, lifting height, motor type, tire composition and operator ergonomics.
There are several types of motors available:
Motor
Internal combustion engine: gasoline: diesel: liquefied petroleum gas (LPG); CNG/LPG (compressed natural gas);
Hybrid electric motor (combustion/electric)
The particularity of the workplace is the decisive factor in selecting the correct equipment:
Indoor or outdoor operation
Height limit
Accessibility of elements to be transported
2.Why use electric forklift?
Electric forklift is mainly used indoors:
Advantages:
emissions: they are more environmentally friendly because they do not emit any smoke. This is why they prefer indoor use, because it is unnecessary to have a ventilation system.
Size: Since they do not require a fuel tank, they are more compact and therefore easier to handle and store.
Service life: They do not require much maintenance. The battery is easy to replace, so the forklift has a longer service life.
Low maintenance cost.
Noise level: Because there is no combustion, they are not as noisy as other types of forklifts.
Disadvantages:
Operation may be affected by the environment, such as humidity or cold.
The initial investment is higher than the internal combustion engine model.

3.Why use diesel forklift?
The operation cost of diesel forklift is high, so it should be used outdoors first.
Advantages:
Load capacity: Its load capacity is higher than that of electric forklift (120000 pounds for diesel engine and 12000 pounds for motor).
Disadvantages:
Use of fossil fuels
Discharge: Not suitable for indoor work.
The purchase price is higher than the gasoline forklift and fluctuating operating costs (depending on the diesel cost).
It is heavier than electric forklift.
4.Why use gas forklift?
Gas forklift uses internal combustion engine using liquid propane gas (LPG) or compressed natural gas (CNG
Advantages:
Quickly fill the tank.
Long life.
It can be used indoors and outdoors.
Low environmental impact.
Disadvantages:
The oil tank at the rear of the forklift is large and can block visibility.
Maintenance costs are higher than other types of motors.
