A natural gas forklift is a type of material handling equipment that uses compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG) as fuel. These forklifts are employed in various industrial settings, such as warehouses and distribution centers, to lift, carry, and transport materials efficiently. Natural gas forklifts are valued for their lower emissions compared to traditional internal combustion engines powered by diesel or gasoline, making them an environmentally friendlier option. Additionally, they can offer cost savings on fuel over time due to the generally lower price of natural gas and longer operating periods between refueling. Their performance in terms of power and torque is comparable to that of other internal combustion forklifts, making them suitable for heavy-duty operations.
