FAQ – Outdoor Diesel ForkliftsQ1: What are diesel forklifts used for? Diesel forklifts are built for heavy‑duty outdoor applications such as steel yards, lumber yards, construction sites, fabrication shops, and industrial plants. Q2: Can diesel forklifts be used indoors? They are primarily outdoor machines. Indoor use requires special ventilation and permits. Q3: What capacities are available? Typical diesel forklifts range from 3,000–36,000 lb, with heavy‑capacity models exceeding 50,000 lb. Q4: How do diesel forklifts compare to propane or electric? Diesel offers the highest torque and best outdoor performance. Propane is better indoors, and electric is ideal for clean, quiet environments. Q5: Do diesel forklifts require DEF? Most Tier 4 units do. Many Tier 3 units do not. Q6: Are diesel forklifts CSA‑certified? Yes — all diesel units from Premier Lift can be delivered fully CSA B335 compliant. Q7: Are diesel forklifts good for winter? Yes — with proper cold‑weather fuel, block heaters, and winterized hydraulic fluids, diesel forklifts perform reliably in Canadian winters.
