Give Your Productivity a Lift
Propane powered forklifts keep crews more productive, perform reliably, and reduce harmful emissions. For decades, business owners have counted on propane forklifts to get the job done the first time while also keeping costs low. Compared to electric, propane powered forklifts ensure your employees have the advantages they need to work effectively.

ONE FUEL SOURCE, MANY JOBS
Propane forklifts get more done in more places, unlike other energy options. Electric forklifts can’t carry the weight of large jobs, and diesel isn’t fit for small tasks. But propane forklifts are available in all weight classes to match the job at hand. And because they can operate effectively indoors and out, your staff stays more productive.

CLEANER OPERATION
If operating with lower emissions is a priority for your workplace, propane is the best choice. Many operators consider electric to be a clean energy source, but it’s important to consider site-tosource emissions in your decision. Compared with electric, propane forklifts reduce SOx emissions by 76 percent. Propane is also much cleaner than diesel, which produces toxic exhaust that makes it unsafe to operate indoors.

BETTER SAVINGS
The capital costs of propane forklifts are almost 30 percent lower than those for electric, when factoring in required refueling and recharging needs, allowing you to save more for other line items like new employees, or business development. Propane cylinders also last three times longer than electric batteries, and their lifespan isn’t affected by the amount of fuel left in the tank. With electric, a battery with too high or low of a charge can have a much shorter lifespan.

POWER THAT DOESN’T QUIT
With the fading power of electric forklifts, you could be paying employees to become increasingly less productive through the day. Propane forklifts provide 100 percent power throughout operation to make the most of the work day, and one cylinder covers an entire eight-hour shift. Businesses that operate 24/7 can count on propane forklifts over multiple shifts, with no need to schedule downtime for recharging, as with electric equipment.
