Diesel, gas or electric forklift: which is best?

Electric suits indoor work: quiet, no fumes and cheap to run, but you need charging space and the battery is a big cost when it wears out. Gas trucks work indoors and out and refuel in minutes. Diesel suits outdoor yards and heavy loads. Match the fuel to where the truck works most of the day.

What capacity forklift do I need?

Take your heaviest regular load and check its centre of gravity, then allow for any attachment, which reduces capacity. The rating on the data plate falls as you lift higher, so check the capacity at your top racking height, not just at ground level. Most warehouses run 1.5 to 3 tonne trucks.
