common questions of forklift
Question 1: What is the working principle of a diesel forklift?
Answer: The working principle of a diesel forklift is based on the four-stroke cycle of a diesel engine (intake, compression, work and exhaust). The engine generates power by burning diesel fuel, which drives the reciprocating motion of the piston, which is converted into the rotary motion of the crankshaft. This mechanical energy is transferred to the wheels through the transmission system (including gearbox, drive axle, etc.) to make the forklift truck move forward, backward and realize other movements. At the same time, the hydraulic system utilizes the power output from the engine to drive the fork lifting and tilting and tilting forward and backward movements to complete the handling of goods.
Question 2: How to carry out daily maintenance of diesel forklift engine?
Answer: Routine maintenance of diesel forklift engine includes: -Regular oil and filter replacement: oil is the key to engine lubrication and cooling, oil and oil filter should be replaced according to the manufacturer's recommended cycle to minimize wear and keep clean. -Air filter inspection and replacement: Clean or replace air filters regularly to prevent dust from entering the engine and reduce wear. -Cooling system maintenance: check the coolant level and replace the coolant regularly to ensure that the engine works at the right temperature. -Fuel system cleaning: regularly clean the fuel filter, check the fuel line to ensure that the fuel supply is unobstructed. -Battery maintenance: Although diesel forklift trucks mainly rely on diesel engines, the battery is vital for the starting system, which needs to be checked regularly for battery power and cleaned battery connectors.

Why choose LTMG forklift
Our diesel forklift is engineered for heavy-duty use, providing superior performance and durability. Unlike low profile electric forklifts, which are excellent for indoor use and have zero emissions, our diesel model is ideal for outdoor applications where the power and torque of a diesel engine are essential."
Fuel Efficiency and Power:
"Diesel forklifts are known for their fuel efficiency and the ability to handle heavier loads. They offer a consistent power output, which is crucial for operations that require constant heavy lifting, unlike some electric forklifts that may experience a decrease in performance as their battery depletes."
Versatility and Mobility:
"The 3-wheel design of our forklift provides excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, making it suitable for a variety of environments. It can navigate through narrow aisles and congested areas with ease, which is a feature that complements the low profile electric forklift's agility in confined indoor settings."
Maintenance and Cost of Ownership:
"While initial costs for diesel forklifts may be higher, they often have lower lifetime operating costs. Maintenance is straightforward, and parts are widely available. In contrast, low profile electric forklifts may require more specialized maintenance and have higher costs for battery replacement."
Long-Term Investment:
"Investing in our 3-wheel diesel forklift is a long-term decision that pays off in terms of reliability and performance. It's a solid choice for businesses that need a forklift that can withstand the rigors of daily use in various conditions, offering a robust alternative to low profile electric forklifts that are more suited for lighter, indoor tasks."
