Used Hyundai Propane Forklifts Salem

Basic Fuel Types of Forklifts
In construction, distribution and industrial settings, forklifts or powered lift trucks are usually utilized to perform numerous tasks. These heavy-duty equipment are designed to be tough and reliable so they are capable of moving heavy things in all different kinds of conditions and environments. Forklifts are powered by various kinds of fuels and hence can adapt to many different work environments.

Electricity
Generating no emissions, the electric forklifts are really quiet and reliable. These units are powered by industrial-strength large batteries that are made to be able to be successfully recharged about 1500 times throughout their useful lifespan. As electric forklifts create no exhaust fumes, it is usually the machine of choice and necessity in places that have inadequate ventilation. These forklifts need a charging station somewhere on the premises which is equipped with an eyewash station and emergency acid spill kit due to the batteries. For safety reasons, the charging area must be well ventilated.

Propane
Liquid propane is a common source of power for the modern lift truck. Propane offers different advantages over electric and diesel models. For instance, propane is normally cheaper compared to electricity. While recharging the battery, there is no need to remove the forklift from service.

In addition, compared to diesel powered models, propane units offer a much cleaner operation. In most instances, a propane forklift is refueled by simply changing out the propane tank that is empty with a new one that is full. Typically, an off-site supplier would re-fill the tanks. This guarantees an easy, safe and fast re-fueling process.

Diesel and Gasoline
Since forklifts which use diesel or gasoline produce smelly exhaust, they require more maintenance. They have fairly high fuel costs too. As they have a useful and much longer lifespan, they are rather dependable compared to propane or electric models. Re-fueling requires a fuel supply on site which conforms to strict safety and health codes. Diesel and gas models are mostly utilized on rough terrain in outdoor applications, such as in lumber yard environments or on construction sites.
