❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does a 2.5 ton forklift mean?
A: The “2.5 ton” refers to the forklift’s maximum rated lifting capacity — in this case, 2,500 kg measured at a standard load centre.
Q: Are diesel forklifts suitable for indoor use?
A: Diesel forklifts can be used indoors only in well-ventilated spaces. Because they produce exhaust, battery or LPG models are usually preferred for enclosed indoor areas.
Q: How often should a diesel forklift be serviced?
A: Regular servicing — including oil changes, filter checks, and hydraulic fluid inspections — every 250–500 hours (depending on use) keeps the forklift running optimally.
