Electric vs. Gas & Diesel Forklifts

Choosing the right forklift depends on where the machine will operate, what it will handle, and how frequently it will be used. Compare the characteristics of electric and internal-combustion forklifts before selecting equipment for your operation.

E
ELECTRIC

Electric Forklift

01

Well suited to many indoor warehouse and facility applications where operating conditions support electric equipment.

02

No direct exhaust emissions from the forklift during operation, making electric equipment an option for appropriate indoor environments.

03

Electric powertrains can provide quiet operation, which can be beneficial in certain indoor workplaces.

04

Battery charging, charging infrastructure and operating schedules should be considered when planning an electric forklift fleet.

COMMON APPLICATIONS Warehouses · Distribution · Manufacturing · Indoor Facilities
IC
INTERNAL COMBUSTION

Gas & Diesel Forklift

01

Internal-combustion forklifts can be suitable for applications where outdoor operation or specific operating requirements call for this type of equipment.

02

Fuel-powered equipment may be considered for demanding applications where operating conditions and equipment specifications support its use.

03

Fuel availability and refueling procedures can influence fleet planning and daily equipment operation.

04

Outdoor conditions, ventilation, emissions requirements, surface conditions and application demands should all be considered before choosing an internal-combustion forklift.

COMMON CONSIDERATIONS Outdoor Work · Heavy Handling · Site Conditions · Duty Cycle
WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

Start With Your Operating Environment

01

Indoor Warehouse

Consider an electric forklift when quiet operation, indoor suitability and the available charging strategy match your facility requirements.

02

Outdoor Operation

Evaluate surface conditions, weather exposure, ventilation, duty cycle and equipment specifications when selecting a forklift for outdoor work.

03

Heavy Daily Work

Compare capacity, lift height, load center, operating hours and required performance rather than choosing equipment based on fuel type alone.

How to Choose the Right Forklift

The best forklift depends on the application rather than one universal specification. When comparing an electric forklift with a gas or diesel forklift, consider load capacity, load center, lift height, aisle width, operating surface, ventilation, duty cycle, charging or refueling requirements and the environment where the equipment will be used.

For warehouse and indoor material-handling applications, electric forklifts can be an attractive option when their operating characteristics match the facility. For outdoor or other demanding applications, internal-combustion equipment may be considered based on site requirements and manufacturer specifications.
