Used Hyundai Propane Forklifts Berkeley

Basic Fuel Types of Forklifts
Forklifts, also referred to as powered lift trucks, are utilized to perform numerous jobs in industrial, construction and distribution settings. These heavy-duty machines are designed to be reliable and tough so they can move heavy things in all different types of conditions and environments. Forklifts are powered by many types of fuels and thus can adapt to many different work environments.

Electricity
Producing no emissions, the electric forklifts are really quiet and reliable. These units could run on industrial-strength large batteries that are made to be able to be successfully recharged about 1500 times during their useful lifespan. As electric forklifts create no exhaust fumes, it is oftentimes the machinery of choice and necessity in areas 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 section needs to be ventilated well.

Propane
Liquid propane is a common source of power for the modern lift truck. Propane provides various advantages over electric and diesel models. For instance, propane is usually cheaper than electricity. While the battery is being recharged, there is no need to remove the lift truck from service.

Furthermore, compared to diesel powered models, propane units provide a much cleaner operation. In the majority of cases, a propane forklift is refueled by simply changing out the empty propane tank with a new full one. Typically, an off-site supplier will re-fill the tanks. This ensures a safe, fast and easy re-fueling process.

Diesel and Gasoline
Because forklifts which utilize diesel or gasoline produce smelly exhaust, they need more maintenance. They have relatively high fuel costs too. As they have a useful and much longer lifespan, they are rather reliable compared to electric or propane models. Re-fueling needs a fuel supply on site which conforms to strict health and safety codes. Diesel and gas models are mainly utilized on rough terrain in outdoor applications, like for example on construction sites or in lumber yard environments.
