First, let's talk about advantages. The biggest advantage of electric forklift is environmental protection, no pollution and no noise. The electric forklift is also very flexible, which can operate in a wide outdoor field or a narrow indoor field. Its operation is simple and intelligent, and its maintenance and repair are more convenient.
Not only that, some electric forklifts also have these unique advantages: forged forks can be easily adjusted in width and used more conveniently; Intelligent electric quantity display instrument, which can monitor the electric quantity and voltage in real time at a glance; Combination battery, easier maintenance; Imported controller makes the life of control circuit longer.
The internal combustion forklift is more powerful and faster, and has more advantages when encountering rough roads. It does not need to be charged for a long time, does not need to carefully maintain the battery, as long as it is filled with oil, it can work. Moreover, its biggest advantage is its low price.
Let's talk about the shortcomings of both. The price of electric forklift is much higher than that of diesel forklift, and its price is generally more than twice that of diesel forklift. It is not suitable for working on complex pavement, but only for asphalt or concrete pavement. Moreover, it takes a long time to charge, and battery maintenance is also a subject.
Internal combustion forklift is not environmentally friendly, it will emit waste gas, and it is noisy. It is only suitable for outdoor work. Its structure is more complex, and it will be more difficult to repair. Its intelligence level is relatively low, and drivers need to be trained for a long time before they can put into work. The failure rate of internal combustion forklift will be higher and the maintenance cost will be higher.
To sum up, we made a comprehensive comparison between electric forklift and diesel forklift. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Enterprises should consider budget, demand, working environment and other factors when choosing, and choose the forklift with the highest cost performance ratio.
