In terms of longevity, electric forklifts often have a longer operational lifespan than LPG forklifts, primarily due to their simpler mechanical design and lower maintenance requirements. However, the actual lifespan of a forklift will significantly depend on its usage, maintenance schedule, operating environment, and how well it is cared for by its operators.

Electric forklifts might last longer under conditions where they are properly maintained, primarily used indoors, and not subjected to extreme conditions. On the other hand, LPG forklifts are more suited to environments where outdoor use and the ability to quickly refuel are crucial, even though they may require more maintenance and potentially have a shorter lifespan.
