Starting system
Keep your forklift starting smoothly with our selection of starting system parts. We offer top brands at competitive prices.
Diesel and LPG forklifts starting system components:
- Battery
- Starter Motor
- Ignition Switch
- Ignition System
- Diesel Preheat System
- Fuel Pump
- Safety Interlocks
The starting system components of diesel and LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) forklifts are quite similar, though there are some differences due to the specific fuel types.
More details
Battery
Both diesel and LPG forklifts use a battery to provide the initial electrical power to start the engine. The battery provides electricity to the starter motor.
Starter Motor
This component is responsible for turning the engine over to start the combustion process. It receives electrical power from the battery when the ignition key is turned.
Ignition Switch
This switch is used to engage the starter motor and activate the ignition system. It's usually located on the dashboard or steering column.
Ignition System
While diesel engines use a compression ignition system where the fuel ignites due to compression, LPG engines typically use a spark ignition system. The ignition system includes components such as spark plugs (in LPG engines) or glow plugs (in some diesel engines), ignition coils, and the distributor.
Diesel Preheat System
Diesel engines may have a preheat system to aid in starting. This could include glow plugs or an intake air heater to warm up the air entering the engine for better combustion.
Fuel Pump
Both diesel and LPG forklifts have fuel pumps to deliver fuel from the tank to the engine. In diesel engines, this pump may be a high-pressure unit to ensure proper fuel atomization.
Safety Interlocks
Many modern forklifts have safety interlocks that prevent the engine from starting unless certain conditions are met, such as the operator being seated, the parking brake engaged, or the mast in the upright position.
