Cuireann forklifts breosla, a bhreoslaítear le gásailín, díosal, nó gás peitriliam leachtaithe, ardchumhacht (aschur cumhachta meandrach) ar fáil agus tá siad feiliúnach do-ardaithe tromshaothair lasmuigh. Mar sin féin, is eol go n-asaíonn siad leibhéil arda torainn (75-85dB) agus astaíochtaí sceite (CO₂ agus NOx), rud a fhágann go bhfuil costas breosla laethúil de thart ar 150-300 yuan. Ar an láimh eile, tá forklifts leictreacha faoi thiomáint ag ceallraí (le timthriall muirir 8-10 uair an chloig), tá siad saor ó thruailliú, agus cuireann siad leibhéil torainn íseal (<60dB). They are suitable for indoor applications such as warehouses, offering a handling accuracy of ±5mm. However, the batteries last approximately 3-5 years and require replacement, costing approximately 20,000-50,000 yuan. In terms of cost-effectiveness, fuel forklifts have a lower purchase price (100,000-200,000 yuan) but higher maintenance costs (approximately 15,000 yuan per year). Electric forklifts, on the other hand, have a higher initial investment (150,000-300,000 yuan) but offer energy savings of over 50%.
