When buying a new or used forklift, LPG and electric engines offer different lifting capacities and sizes to suit different working environments. So which is better for your needs? At Damoli, we are one of Australia’s leading supplier of a wide range of forklift services including sales, rentals, repairs and maintenance. Here we will look at the pros and cons of LPG and electric forklifts to help you make a more informed decision.

Electric Forklifts

Generally speaking, electric forklifts have a longer lifespan than gas powered versions. This is because they have fewer moving components.

Electric forklifts also require less maintenance – no engine servicing, or replacing of spark plugs, oils, fluids and filters.

Electric models are environmentally friendly – with no tailpipe emissions, you will have a cleaner and safer work environment, as well as know you are doing your bit to reduce emissions into the environment.

Quiet operation – with minimal operating noise, this can significantly improve workplace comfort and safety.

Excellent manoeuvrability – usually smaller than other types of forklifts and this compact size makes them extremely moveable, and perfect for a wide range of applications.
