How to Choose an Internal Combustion Forklift
When searching for your next internal combustion forklift, there is a lot to think about. Internal combustion forklifts come in many different models and with many different features. For instance, we have internal combustion cushion tire forklifts and internal combustion forklifts with pneumatic tires. There are models powered by LPG and models powered by diesel. Our team will discuss your options with you if you need help selecting the right forklift for you. However, some of the things you should consider when selecting an internal combustion forklift include:
- Load capacity
- Indoor vs. outdoor capabilities
- Fuel source (gas, diesel, LPG, or compressed natural gas)
- Maneuverability
- Size of the equipment
- Tire type (pneumatic or cushion)
- Lifting height
- Maintenance and service requirements
- Space needed to store fuel tanks
- Ergonomics of the seating arrangement
The Types of Internal Combustion Engines
When discussing internal combustion engine forklifts, we are actually referring to a category that includes gasoline, diesel, LPG, and CNG-powered engines. Each fuel source has its advantages and disadvantages. Before purchasing a new internal combustion forklift, you should consider the following about each type of engine:
- Gasoline: Using the same fuel source you put in your automobile, gasoline-powered forklifts have a great deal of lifting power and are quick to refuel.
- Diesel: Diesel is a low-grade fuel, making it less combustible than gasoline. However, diesel is typically a more affordable fuel source than gasoline.
- Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG): You might recognize LPG by its common name: propane. Used as a fuel source for grills, it offers an easily replaceable fuel source that maintains 100% power throughout its entire use. On top of that, they can be used indoors or outdoors without fear of harmful emissions.
- Compressed Natural Gas (CNG): Compressed natural gas is an environmentally friendly fuel source that can be used inside and outside of a building because it does not produce carbon monoxide like gas and diesel engines. The tanks used on CNG forklifts are easy to transport and replace.
