| Your Choice for Forklift Fuel Service and Emissions Expertise | |
| Propane-powered forklifts perform better than electric forklifts in indoor and outdoor applications, consistently demonstrating the ability to lift, push and pull heavy loads at full capacity, up and down inclines, for a longer time and with improved ground speed when compared with electric lifts. Clean-burning propane also helps you meet federal and local emissions standards, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor use | |

| Propane: The #1 Alternative Motor Fuel in the World | |
| Propane, also known as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), is listed as an approved alternative fuel in the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and is the leading alternative fuel in the country. It is also the nation's third most common vehicular fuel today, after gasoline and diesel. There are over 270,000 on-road vehicles in the United States and more than 10 million worldwide that operate on propane (Source: Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) and US Department of Energy). A large number of these are used in fleets that include light-to heavy-duty trucks, buses, taxicabs, police cars, and rental and delivery vehicles. | |
| Environmentally Preferred | |
| At the top of the federal government's environmental agenda is the need to reduce air pollution caused by engine emissions. The use of clean-burning fuels is critical to achieving this goal. Propane is on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) list of federally approved clean-burning fuels. Furthermore, propane is contained in a sealed, pressure-tight system at all times, and there are no evaporative emissions. This eliminates a significant source of secondary pollution. | |
| Propane is clean burning. Tests conducted by the EPA show that propane engines produce 60 percent less ozone-forming emissions than reformulated gasoline. Recent tailpipe emissions tests performed on Orange County (California) Transit Authority's propane buses showed they emitted 87 percent less total hydrocarbons, 50 percent less nitrogen oxides, and 40 percent less particulate matter than gasoline-fueled buses. | |
| Propane the right choice for your fleet. | |
