Our team are your one stop shop for Brisbane forklift hire, sale and maintenance needs with our own trucks, drivers and service team we can take care of it all for you.
Forklifts come in a few different fuel types including, diesel, Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and electricity (lithium forklifts) each fuel type has its benefits and use cases.
LPG forklifts are the perfect all-rounder combining the maneuverability and low emissions of a lithium electric forklift and the power of a diesel forklift they are the perfect jack-of-all-trades forklift. LPG forklifts are easily refuelled as all you need to do is switch the empty tank out for a full tank and you are good to go, this greatly reduces the downtime required for refuelling than what an electric forklift requires. As LPG forklifts release far lower emissions than diesel forklifts they can be used inside warehouses (as long as they are still well-ventilated). A downside of gas is that as a fuel it costs more in the long run than diesel however they make up for this through their lower emissions and manuverability.
If you need power or have uneven surfaces around your work area look no further than diesel forklifts. Diesel forklifts provide the greatest power of all other forklift fuel types making them perfect for heavier loads, uneven surfaces and slopes. They also much like an LPG forklift have a far shorter downtime when refuelling them but as they run on diesel have exceptionally greater emissions that make them unsafe for indoor use. This all combined makes diesel forklifts the perfect rough terrain forklifts for heavy loads.
Lithium electric forklifts use lithium batteries to create an unparalleled nippy, quiet, emission-free, indoor forklift. Electric forklifts are far more maneuverable than both diesel and LPG forklifts and far quieter as they do not have a combustion engine making them perfect for tight indoor warehouses with minimal ventilation. However, as they run on electricity they can have far higher downtimes when recharging and need to be used close to a place where they can recharge limiting their range and operation time.
