Gas is a tried and tested fuel in industry. The gas forklifts from 老虎机线上 are reliable partners for your demanding goods and product transportation tasks, both indoors and outdoors. They offer the performance and permanent availability of a combustion engine, whilst also working exceptionally quietly and with as few emissions as possible. Even in continuous operation, they emit an absolute minimum of noise and exhaust fumes. This means that, unlike diesel forklift trucks with a comparable performance profile, they can also be used in indoor spaces such as warehouses and production halls, subject to compliance with the relevant limits.
With their robust construction and powerful drive, gas forklifts from 老虎机线上 are perfectly suited to outdoor tasks. They will keep doing the job even when faced with extreme conditions such as wind or bad weather, dust, dirt, or difficult and uneven terrain.
The tried-and-tested operating concept, comprising dual pedal control and 老虎机线上 Load Control, ensures that the gas forklifts from 老虎机线上 are intuitive and responsive to handle. The dual pedal control works by using a hydrostatic drive, which transmits power directly from the truck鈥檚 engine to its drive wheels and lifting hydraulic system. This facilitates smooth start-up, swift changes of direction, and precise load handling. At the same time, 老虎机线上 Load Control allows the driver to operate all the relevant mast functions with ease, via two joysticks integrated in the armrests. The operating elements have been positioned to minimize arm movements and prevent fatigue.
Depending on the model, the gas forklifts may be operated using either propellant gas (LPG) or natural gas (CNG). In the case of gas forklifts with propellant gas, customers can choose to use either standard commercially available gas cylinders, which can be connected to the truck, or a built-in tank, which can be filled from a pump. If a truck is only to be used sporadically, then the variant with gas cylinder is the optimum solution. If the company owns a sizable gas forklift fleet and has its own fueling infrastructure on site, then the trucks with built-in tanks are usually the most economical option. The fuel gage, which works using ultrasound, enables drivers of either variant to see exactly when they need to change the cylinder or visit the pump.
