FAQS

How long can I rent a gas forklift?

The beauty of gas forklift hire lies in its flexibility. Rental periods can range from as short as a single day to several months or even years. This flexibility allows businesses to adapt their equipment needs to project durations, seasonal demands, or changing operational requirements without the long-term commitment of purchasing.

Are gas forklifts more expensive to operate than electric forklifts? 

The cost comparison between gas and electric forklifts isn't straightforward and depends on several factors. While fuel costs for gas forklifts can be higher, they often have lower initial rental costs and don't require expensive battery replacements. Gas forklifts also offer the advantage of consistent power output and quick refuelling, which can translate to increased productivity.

Can I use a gas forklift indoors?

Gas forklifts can be used indoors, but proper ventilation is crucial. Always ensure your workspace is well-ventilated when operating gas-powered equipment indoors. It's essential to thoroughly assess your indoor space, including ceiling height, air circulation, and the nature of the materials being handled. In some cases, you might need to implement additional ventilation measures or consider using gas forklifts in conjunction with electric models for different areas of your facility.

How often do I need to refuel a gas forklift?

The refuelling frequency for a gas forklift depends on several factors, including the model of the forklift, the intensity of use, and the weight of the loads being handled. However, most gas forklifts can operate on a single tank for 8-10 hours. This makes them ideal for full-shift operations without needing mid-shift refuelling, enhancing productivity and reducing downtime. Refuelling at the end of each shift is always a good practice to ensure the forklift is ready for immediate use at the start of the next workday.
