Become a Power Lifter with Propane

Propane is a leader in the material handling market because it offers a number of key advantages over other fuels. Propane-powered forklifts will do more than move inventory. They’ll give your productivity and bottom line a big lift, too.

Propane-powered forklifts can be used safely indoors or outdoors, because they operate so cleanly. Take upstream emissions into account — from the generation of electricity — and propane forklifts beat electric models as well.

Propane forklifts don’t lose power like electric models, and only require a quick and easy cylinder change to get back to work. Electric models take hours to recharge.

Propane is an ideal fuel for material handling; it’s the first choice of fuel for warehouses of all kinds across the country.

With more than 70 percent of propane production coming from domestic natural gas, the U.S. produces enough of its own propane to exceed customer demand.
