On the transportation lines of Brazilian sugarcane fields and the handling roads of Argentine soybean farms, fuel costs are quietly eating into farm profits. However, the fuel consumption of Agricultural Handling Forklift actually hides "savable space" — doing these 5 operations well can make it run 20% more mileage than specified in the manual.
Smooth starting does not mean slow: When starting Agricultural Handling Forklift, step on the accelerator gently to make the engine speed rise steadily (not exceeding 2000 rpm). A field test in a South African farm shows: this saves 1.5L of fuel per hour compared to stepping on the accelerator hard. Sudden braking should be avoided even more; predict road conditions in advance and decelerate by idle coasting, which can save 0.8L per transportation.
Filters and engine oil are key: Clean the air filter of Agricultural Handling Forklift every week (especially on farms with much dust), increasing air intake by 15% for more sufficient combustion; use low-viscosity engine oil (such as 5W-30) to reduce engine resistance, lowering fuel consumption by 8% during cold starts.
Winter preheating has skills: After starting Agricultural Handling Forklift, idle for 30 seconds before starting, and do not warm up the car in place for more than 1 minute. After a farm did this, winter fuel consumption dropped from 22L/100km to 19L.
These operations made the Agricultural Handling Forklift of a South African farm completely "save" benefits: With correct operations for 3 months, fuel consumption per 100km dropped from 22L to 18L. Based on 1000 operating hours a year, the saved fuel money is enough to buy 2 tons of chemical fertilizers. The "cost-saving power" of Agricultural Handling Forklift has never been in the manual, but in the details of operation.
