Pros

• Diesel-operated forklifts are ideal for outdoor use.
• Diesel-operated forklifts have a higher torque, which improves their performance on gradients and increases the power available for towing or scooping aggregates. In addition, there is no danger of suddenly losing power, which is vital when using hydraulic attachments like rotating clamps, forward tipplers and fork spreaders.
• Diesel-operated forklifts are more robust, leading to lower service and maintenance costs.
• Unlike electric models, diesel-operated forklifts can be used anytime without a break. The fuel gauge will indicate when the tank is nearly empty, and refilling takes just a few minutes.

Cons

• Diesel-operated forklifts are unsuitable for indoor use because they are noisier and produce exhaust fumes.
• Diesel-operated forklifts are usually bigger and require more space for movement and storage.
• Diesel-operated forklifts cost more to maintain than electric forklifts.
