Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are diesel forklifts best used for?

    Diesel forklifts are ideal for outdoor use and heavy-duty applications, such as in construction, agriculture, shipping yards, and manufacturing sites.

  • Are diesel forklifts suitable for indoor use?

    Due to exhaust emissions, diesel forklifts are generally not recommended for indoor use unless the area is well-ventilated. Electric or LPG forklifts are better suited for enclosed environments.
