Diesel forklifts offer power and high weight capacities, making them the perfect choice for demanding environments. They can be used inside and outside but are most popular in areas where versatility is key. They are popular in warehouse environments where the operator needs to leave the storage area and enter a loading area outside. As most diesel forklifts are counterbalance, they can lift weights ranging from 1.6 ton to 5 ton whilst remaining stable on the ground. Diesel forklifts operate on 4 wheels meaning the turning circle will be larger but the amount you can load will be higher than most 3 wheel electric forklifts.
Diesel forklifts are popular in outside environments where exhaust fumes are less of a concern. They are also more powerful than electric forklifts making it easier to navigate through environments with uneven ground. Most diesel forklift trucks can withstand uneven terrain but if you’re looking for a unit that can operate on tough terrain, a rough terrain forklift is required.
With a wide range of choice and a selection of different brands newly available in stock you may need help choosing the best forklift for your requirements. We do list key information about each forklift but if you have any further questions please contact us. You can also visit our showroom to view all forklifts available to buy.
