Electric forklifts are powered by electricity rather than the traditional gas or diesel options. Providing a quiet, reliable and environmentally friendly way to operate your forklift, they’re often smaller and more compact than other types, which makes them easier to manoeuvre around tight spaces.
Electric forklifts are powered by electric motors that come with either lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are rechargeable and are a much cleaner way to power the machines compared to internal combustion engines.
Electric forklifts are suitable for a wide range of environments but are particularly useful for indoor settings where quiet operation and good air quality are important. This makes them perfect for warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing facilities.
Gas-powered forklifts operate by using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use. Extremely versatile, they’re perfectly balanced and offer excellent performance.
Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) is a type of gas that is used to power these forklift types. This provides them with strong engines that offer great power and performance, and it’s also a more environmentally friendly choice compared to traditional diesel models.
LPG forklifts are ideal for a range of indoor and outdoor environments, making them a flexible choice that is suitable for all types of operations. There is no limit on the type of jobs these machines can be used for.
Diesel forklifts are one of the most traditional forklift types, offering strong performance, excellent reliability and a machine that is perfect for heavy-duty operations.
Diesel forklifts are powered by a diesel engine, which guarantees great performance and long run times. This also means the machine can be used for extended periods.
Due to their strength and high performance, diesel forklifts are perfect for outdoor environments, industrial settings and heavy-duty jobs.
