Comprehensive comparative analysis of cost performance of mainstream forklift

What are the mainstream forklifts in the market? Gasoline forklift, diesel forklift, electric forklift, liquefied natural gas forklift, the conventional configuration of each forklift and their advantages and disadvantages.

general comparison

Diesel forklift, gasoline forklift and liquefied natural gas forklift all belong to internal combustion forklift. Their working principles are basically the same. The battery forklift converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. The main difference between the engines of the other three internal combustion forklifts is the difference in ignition form caused by the physical characteristics of fuel, which shows their different economy. The detailed differences and prices of the four models are different.

From the perspective of economy, the electric forklift is the best, followed by the LPG forklift, the gasoline forklift and the diesel forklift. However, the electric forklift has a short working time and a long charging time. Of course, it can also consider using three batteries to solve this problem. The battery forklift is only suitable for places with good roads, and its acceleration and starting performance are significantly worse than that of the internal combustion engine. The most important thing is that in order to avoid battery explosion, It also needs a charging site with a good environment, and water should be added regularly, otherwise the service life of the battery pack will be greatly reduced. If the customer does not consider the charging time and the on-site working condition is good, the electric forklift should be selected.

In general, diesel forklifts account for the vast majority in the Chinese market, and liquefied petroleum forklifts account for the majority in the United States. Of course, China's special situation is also the primary market stage of other countries.
