Komatsu Dual Fuel Forklifts San Antonio

Dual Fuel Engine

The Dual Fuel engine is a kind of engine which utilizes a mixture of diesel fuel and gas fuel or could work 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.



As the engine is not a pure diesel engine and diesel is not a pure gas, this machinery does suffer from poor fuel efficiency and Methane slippage. 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 lower or higher loads.



Lift Truck Classification and Fuel Sources

There are certain applications that have proved a challenge for the forklift. For example, scrap metal is one of these problems. To be able to successfully handle items like this requires using the correct kind of equipment for the task.



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 comprise Diesel, Gasoline, Battery, Fuel Cell and Propane.



The most common overall are electric powered trucks, mostly in Class I, II and class III forklifts. In Classes IV and V, internal combustion trucks are more popular. The most common electric power source is the lead-acid battery. Amongst internal combustion trucks, around over 90 percent are fueled by propane.



The battery is the forklifts most common power source. Battery powered models make up around 60 percent of the new forklifts sold in the USA. Their benefits consist of: quiet operation, less maintenance requirements, the ability to be used inside and outdoors with no harmful emissions.
