Caterpillar Propane Forklifts Corpus Christi

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



Electric engines cost less to maintain during their lifetime since they require much less maintenance. The battery should last at least five years if the manufacturer's maintenance and charging guidelines are followed. Overnight charging costs are generally low. Electric trucks tend to be compact units and highly maneuverable, particularly the three-wheel models. Drive, tilt, lift, acceleration and auxiliary speeds are adjustable and could be changed depending on the driver's preferences and the use. Electric trucks are not noisy, and are easier on the environment.



Not best 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.



Best to be continuously used outdoors and on surfaces that are uneven is the advantage of an IC engine diesel/LPG. With no requirement for battery charging, the forklift can be utilized throughout the evening and overnight. Supply and transport of fuel must be factored into expenses. Initial costs are less than for an electric truck, but long term costs related to maintenance and fuel are higher. IC engines have bigger capacities compared to electric, but less adaptability. LPG can be used in some indoor applications. IC Engine diesel/LPG produces more noise and higher emissions compared to electric. LPG has lower emissions compared to diesel.
