Each type of forklift has its applicable environment. Wrong choices can lead to inefficiencies and accidents in storage operations. In fact, electric forklifts and diesel forklifts have their own advantages and disadvantages.

1. Diesel forklift:

      The advantages are sufficient horsepower, high strength, and strong environmental adaptability. It can work in a relatively difficult environment, and can replenish fuel at any time, so it can work for a long time.

      The disadvantage is that it is noisy, the exhaust gas pollution is large, the maintenance of the engine is troublesome, and the maintenance is also troublesome, and it is not clean. Generally, a channel of 4m-4.5m is required to rotate, which cannot fully improve the utilization of space.

2. Electric forklifts use electric motors for all power

    The advantage is that it is very clean and quiet. Maintenance and repair are also more convenient, and it is more convenient to use indoors, with zero pollution, and the operation is also very simple. Generally, it can be rotated and operated flexibly in a channel of 2.7 meters to 2.9 meters.

    The disadvantage is that the power is smaller than that of diesel forklifts. If there is no electricity, it needs to be stopped to replenish electricity, and it takes 10-14 hours to replenish full electricity once. Unless two sets of batteries are used in rotation, the charging time is long.

    Since the maintenance interval of electric forklift parts is much longer than that of internal combustion forklifts, and the time required for each maintenance is much less than that of internal combustion forklifts, this greatly saves the labor cost required for maintenance. In fact, the more substantial is The downtime of the forklift is greatly shortened, and the economic benefits brought by the improved work efficiency of the forklift are difficult to calculate.
