Hazards of Type-G forklifts
Forklifts carry out an important role in the operations of warehouses and other businesses. These equipment are capable of raising and moving immense loads from one location to another. There are several variations on the lift truck. The primary variation is the way in which different kinds of forklifts are fueled. "LP" lift trucks are the kind that is most popular. They operate on liquid propane. Type "E" forklifts run on electricity and have large rechargeable batteries. Type "D" lift trucks use diesel and type "G" use gasoline. Though all types of lift trucks, like any piece of heavy machine, can pose a danger, the kind of forklifts that are fueled by gasoline pose the most risks.

Fire
Forklifts labelled type G can present a fire hazard. Gas forklifts are not made with the same rigorous standards. Gas leaks are the biggest cause of fire due mainly to gas leaks and also escaped gas fumes. This could result driving on really rough terrain and from normal wear or from accidents. These circumstances pose a risk and could result in fire. Therefore, a typical Type G forklift must never be utilized in conditions where elevated fire risk is deemed unacceptable. For example, these types of forklifts should not be used around hazardous or explosive chemicals.

Explosion
Type G lift trucks also pose a danger of explosion, as do those which operate on diesel and liquid propane. A gasoline powered forklift could explode as a result of a serious accident in circumstances where an ignition source and a gasoline leak are both present. An explosion can occur when sparks are created in the collision and the sparks ignite the gasoline.

Fumes and Exhaust
Due to bad fumes, the gas lift truck does pose a risk for inhalation, that can be deadly in higher concentrations. Fumes can result from the exhaust itself or from gasoline leaks. Hence, a Type G forklift is really not suggested for any environment which is poorly ventilated. The exhaust will present a serious hazard in enclosed places. This particular type of lift truck must be utilized with care when operated in close proximity to individuals.
