Electric forklift and diesel forklift in the end how to choose

Each type of forklift will be used in different environmental situations. Choosing the right type can effectively improve the efficiency of warehousing operations and reduce the occurrence of accidents. Conversely, it will affect the increase of efficiency and accident rate. Electric forklifts and diesel forklifts in fact have their own advantages and also have their own shortcomings.

Let's talk about diesel forklifts first:

The advantage is that the diesel engine has enough horsepower and large output power to adapt to a variety of environments. Some difficult environments can hardly live without it. Moreover, the fuel supply on demand is more timely and the endurance cannot be said.

The disadvantages are that the noise of the diesel engine is relatively large, the emission of exhaust gas is polluted, the engine needs regular maintenance, and the troubles are also troublesome to maintain. If it is operated indoors, it will seriously affect the indoor air quality. And the body will need to accommodate the engine will do a larger, less flexible need to 4 meters -4.5 meters wide channel to rotate, can not be displayed in a narrow space.

For electric forklifts, all power is output by the motor

Advantages: Motor as a power output can achieve zero emissions, zero pollution, the motor is also relatively quiet. It is easy to maintain and relatively simple to maintain. It is more convenient to use in indoor or small space, and it is also easier to operate than diesel forklifts. Generally, the width can reach 2.7 meters to 2.9 meters.

The disadvantage is that the power is smaller than that of a diesel forklift . If the battery is short of electricity, it needs to stop work to recharge. The time required for a full charge is quite long. It takes 10-14 hours, and it is basically the nighttime charge that runs out during the day. If you forget to charge the next day, you can only stop charging. Unless there is a backup battery for use, the battery life is not a small gap compared to diesel forklifts.

However, since the maintenance period of the electric forklift motor is much longer than that of the diesel forklift, and the time required for each maintenance is much less than that of the diesel forklift, this saves a considerable amount of labor time and maintenance. Taken together, the downtime of electric forklifts is less than that of diesel forklifts. In some electronic equipment factories and other manufacturers that do not have large quantities of goods and require a relatively clean environment, electric forklifts are preferred.
