There are two basic types of lift trucks, models which run on gas and those which run on electricity:



IC or Internal Combustion Forklifts: The Internal Combustion forklift would run on fuels such as liquid propane, gas, compressed natural gas or CNG or diesel. Gas powered models are best suited for outdoor applications because they produce pollutants and gases that are harmful to employees and pedestrians. Units which run on gasoline are also great for use in bad weather and in the rain. These units can lift weights around 15,000 to 35,000 pounds. Because of the fuel costs and maintenance, the gas powered units are much more costly to use compared to units that run on electricity, however, they cost a lot less up front compared to electric powered units. Units that run on liquid propane are the right choice to be used inside.



Electric Forklifts: The electric lift truck units are powered by really big batteries which should be recharged. The vehicles do not create any polluting air emissions as these models do not burn any fuel. They are the right alternative for indoor use and warehouses. Additionally, lift trucks that run on electricity do not require any fuel storage units and they are a lot quieter to run compared to other models. One of the disadvantages of electric powered units is that they are unable to carry cargo over 15,000 pounds and hence, have a slower acceleration than the units which use gasoline.



Forklifts are specially made to easily and quickly transport heavy cargo with simplicity. Like the case with nearly all types of machines, unfortunately, lift truck mishaps do occur on a regular basis. There are some safety regulations that must be followed so as to keep everyone safe. The most vital concern is recruiting a trained operator, who could show you a valid lift truck license.



There are many different kinds of lift trucks available on the market. Choosing which one is right for your specific requirements would be based on the type of environment your machine would have to operate in, for instance, outdoors or indoors or both and what kinds of loads which you have to transport. Once you understand your specific needs, it would be easy to match up to the right kind of lift truck. When you understand all your needs precisely you could make a correct choice.



One more great way to get first hand experience on the different lift truck units is the try renting your lift truck. This would also enable you to see all the possible choices available to you. This is a less expensive way to determine if the type of equipment you have in mind can keep up with you on the job location.
