Why do All-terrain forklifts use diesel as power?

Forklifts can use a variety of power sources, the following are a few common power sources:

1.Electric forklifts: use batteries as the power source, suitable for indoor use, no noise pollution, stable operation, but poor battery life.

2.Internal-combustion engine forklifts: use internal-combustion engines as power sources, and can use gasoline, diesel（diesel forklift） or natural gas as fuels. They are suitable for outdoor use and have strong power, but the noise and exhaust pollution are relatively large.

3.Liquefied petroleum gas forklift: use liquefied petroleum gas as the power source, suitable for indoor or outdoor use, relatively environmentally friendly, but the cost of use is high.

4.Hydrogen fuel cell forklifts: use hydrogen as a power source, suitable for indoor or outdoor use, no pollution, but high cost.

5.Hybrid forklift: using a combination of multiple power sources, such as batteries and diesel engines, has the advantages of endurance and strong power.
In short, forklifts can use a variety of power sources. According to different usage scenarios and needs, different power sources can be selected to meet actual needs.

Why do Off-Road forklifts use diesel as power?

The reasons why all-terrain forklifts use diesel as power are as follows:

1.Strong power: Off-road forklifts need to work in complex terrain and environments, so they need to have strong power to cope with different work scenarios. The diesel engine has a high power output and can provide the power required by 4 wheel drive outdoor forklifts.

2.Strong battery life: Field work requires long-term continuous work. Diesel forklifts have high fuel efficiency and fuel density, so they have strong battery life, which can ensure long-term work of off-road forklifts.

3.Wide adaptability: Diesel engines have wide adaptability and can adapt to different climates, environments and working conditions, and diesel fuel is relatively easy to obtain, so diesel forklifts can work in different regions and scenarios.

4.Low maintenance cost: The maintenance cost of the diesel engine is relatively low, and the maintenance work is relatively simple, so the maintenance cost of the diesel forklift is relatively low.

5.High reliability: The structure of the diesel engine is relatively simple, there is no high-voltage electrical system and a large number of complicated transmission parts, so it has high reliability and stability, which can ensure the long-term work of the off-road forklift trucks.
Therefore, rough terrain forklifts use diesel as a power source（diesel rough terrain forklift）, which can provide strong power and long working hours required by off-road lift trucks. At the same time, diesel engines have the advantages of wide adaptability, low maintenance costs, and high reliability.
