1) Match the Machine to the Site
Indoors with tight aisles? Go electric and cushion tires.
Mixed indoor/outdoor? LPG/propane is a versatile workhorse.
Rough outdoor yards? Diesel with pneumatics.
2) Capacity & Mast
Common sweet spots are 3,000–6,000 lb with 3-stage masts (187–240"). Heavier loads or special handling?
We’ll advise on counterweight, wheelbase, and attachments.
3) Runtime & Refueling
Multi-shift indoor work favors electric with opportunity charging. Intermittent, all-day loading often suits LPG.
Heavy outdoor cycles point to diesel.
Electric
Quiet, clean, low op-cost. Ideal for food/pharma warehouses and tight aisles.
LPG / Propane
Fast refuel, consistent power, indoor/outdoor flexibility—great all-rounder.
Diesel
Max torque for outdoor yards and long runs; built for heavy loads.
Quick Spec Checklist
Capacity & Load Center (e.g., 5,000 lb @ 24").
Mast Height (lowered/raised) + overhead clearance.
Tires (cushion vs pneumatic) based on floor/yard conditions.
Attachments (side-shift, fork positioner, clamp, carton clamp).
Power & Runtime (battery/charger plan or fuel supply).
