9.What is forklift? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the forklift.
Forklift is a small industrial vehicle with a power-operated pronged platform that can be raised and lowered for insertion under a load to be lifted and moved. It include electric forklift and fuel forklift.
Advantage of electric forklift:
Environmental and Eco-friendly operation
Usable in small areas and indoors
Have a longer life span compared to other types of forklifts
Cost for electricity can be significantly lower than the cost for fuel
Controls simple and user friendly
More mechanically simplistic (no transmission, torque converter etc)
Huge variety of brands and models
No noise with the exception of the back-up alarm
Disadvantage of electric forklift:
Battery charging stations must be installed
Voltage requirements may be an issue with older facilities
Typically a higher upfront cost
Heavy batteries may require a special lifts for changing
Limited to lifting 12,000 lbs. and under.
Need for proper training on the correct use, storage and charging of batterie
Advantage of fuel forklift
more torque, quicker response
much quicker refuelling
more suitable for outdoor work
total cost of fuel is typically less when compared with propane forklifts.
Disadvantage of fuel forklift
can only be used in well ventilated areas or open spaces. - preferred for outdoor use
loud engines makes for difficult communications (headphones)
requires a fuel storage room and the relevant safety controls/standards
requires more consummable parts - emissions maintenance, filters
heaver forklift due to extra parts
fuel emmissions not eco-friendly
