Komatsu Dual Fuel Forklifts Arlington

Dual Fuel Engine

The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine which utilizes a mixture of gas fuel or diesel fuel or could run off of diesel by its self. The dual fuel engine is not capable of running on gas alone. These engines do not have ignition systems and do not use spark plugs.



Since diesel is not a pure gas, and it is not a pure diesel designed engine, it has some disadvantages in the department of Methane slippage as well as fuel efficiency.. Like for instance, the fuel efficiency can be 5% to 8% less than in a comparable lean-burn, spark-ignited engine at 100% load. It could even be greater on lower loads.



Lift Truck Fuel Sources and Classifications

There are some recycling materials handling applications that could prove really challenging for lift trucks. Like for example, scrap metal is one of these problems. To be able to successfully handle items like this requires utilizing the right kind of machine for the job.



There are 7 major lift truck classes, including power sources like liquid propane gas, hydrogen fuel cell, electric, gasoline and diesel. The power source is linked to some of these specific classes. The main power sources for forklifts consist of Gasoline, Battery, Diesel, Fuel Cell and Propane.



Electric powered trucks are the most common, mainly Class I, II and class III forklifts. Internal combustion engines are more common in Classes IV and V. The most common electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Amongst internal combustion trucks, approximately over 90 percent are powered by propane.



The battery is the forklifts most popular power source. Battery fueled models make up around 60% of the new forklifts sold within the United States. Their benefits comprise: quiet operation, less maintenance requirements, the ability to be utilized inside and outside with no harmful emissions.
