Comparative LPG consumption

Having just taken on 4 new LPG powered Komatsu AX50s I am staggered at how much fuel we are getting through (over 5 litres per hour) compared to the Nissan Ds we had previously. Is anyone aware of a comparison between different manufacturers? I am seriously thinking about the hydrostatic option as I know that our old Linde is much more efficient.

Different lifts use more or less than others also how they are driven.Aggressive operator will drink fuel.Easy one will sip.I have had customers say the cat gc25 used less fuel than the newer c5000.Also fortis line hyster yale use more than their older replacements.I would also like to see some solid information for this.

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
