Hi Everyone,

Comparing two new units; electric and combustion same capacity and specs, using them same rate shift hours.
Can you please tell me what advantages are between use electric and combustion forklift?
Does the cost to support each is different, thinking in a new units?

Thinking in long term, does they delivered same cost vs benefit?

is the same cost in combustion liter versus kilowatt/hr?
how I can calculate the performance in each unit in regards work done?

Let me know and thank you in advance

Luis
