Natural gas forklifts offer several advantages compared to those using other fuel types. They typically produce fewer emissions, making them a more environmentally friendly option, and can often result in lower fuel costs due to the relatively stable and low price of natural gas. They generally provide quiet operation and can extend the engine life due to cleaner combustion. However, the cons include the need for specialized fueling infrastructure, which can result in higher initial setup costs. Additionally, natural gas forklifts may have limited power compared to diesel alternatives, making them potentially less suitable for heavy-duty operations. The availability of fueling stations can also be a limiting factor, making them less practical in certain locations.
