More about diesel forklifts
Diesel forklifts use a robust internal combustion engine that delivers high torque and sustained power, which makes them well suited to heavy loads, long shifts and outdoor sites where conditions are tough. They refuel in moments and keep working for as long as there is fuel in the tank.
From compact yard trucks to heavy container handlers, diesel remains the go-to for outdoor materials handling, construction, ports and recycling. They are typically the most cost-effective choice where machines work hard outside and high lift capacities are needed.
