While fuel forklifts provide strong power and efficient operations, they do have some environmental problems, such as emission of pollutants and noise pollution. In order to solve these problems, the following measures can be taken:
Upgrade engine technology: Adopt more advanced engine technology, such as common rail fuel injection system, turbocharging, etc., to improve combustion efficiency and reduce the emission of harmful gases.
Use cleaner energy: Consider cleaner alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) or biofuels, which can significantly reduce pollutant emissions compared to conventional diesel and petrol.
Install exhaust gas treatment devices: Install exhaust gas purification devices for fuel forklifts, such as catalytic converters and particulate traps, which can effectively reduce the emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM) and other harmful substances.
Regular maintenance and servicing: Ensure that fuel forklifts receive regular maintenance and servicing, including replacement of air filters, fuel filters and adjustment of engine parameters, to maintain optimal operation and reduce unnecessary pollution.
Optimise operating habits: Train operators to adopt energy-efficient driving techniques, such as avoiding hard acceleration, hard braking and long idling times, which not only saves fuel but also reduces emissions.
Introduce hybrid systems: Develop and use hybrid forklift trucks that combine the advantages of electric motors and internal combustion engines, with the internal combustion engine providing power when high power is needed, and switching to electric mode when the truck is lightly loaded or stationary, thus reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Policy guidance and incentives: The government can encourage enterprises to upgrade old equipment and adopt more environmentally friendly technologies and products by setting stringent emission standards and providing tax breaks or subsidies.
