Proven Reliability in Propane Delivery for Industrial Gas Appliances by Battle LP Gas
Propane forklifts provide 100 percent power throughout operation, with one cylinder covering an entire eight-hour shift. The fading power of electric forklifts makes your employees less productive throughout the day. In the long term, Propane Cylinders are a smarter choice than electric batteries to operate your forklifts. Cylinders can last up to 30 years with requalified use, but batteries only perform a few hours per charge and are only practical for infrequent use.
Achieve Better Savings Over the Long Term with Battle LP Gas Propane Delivery
The capital costs of propane forklifts are almost 30 percent lower than those for electric, when factoring in required refueling and recharging. This allows you to save more for other areas of your business. Propane cylinders also last three times longer than batteries and their lifespan isn’t affected by the amount of fuel left in the tank.
Clean, Safe Operation Indoors
Propane forklifts reduce Sox emissions by 76 percent versus electric and NOx and hydrocarbon emissions by 94 percent versus diesel. It’s not only better for the environment but also protects your employees from harmful toxins. In fact, well-maintained propane forklifts meet or exceed nationwide indoor air quality standards.
Indoor & Outdoor Operation
Unlike diesel forklifts, propane forklifts operate clean enough to operate indoors. In fact, 68 percent of forklift fleets work both indoors and out. This indoor-outdoor versatility can give you a significant productivity boost.
Refueling
Electric batteries take a few hours to recharge a single battery. To refuel with propane, all you do is remove the empty cylinder, securely attach the full one, and get back to work. Your crew will never be caught without the power they need to get the job done.
Acquisition Costs
Tier-4 requirements are adding thousands to the price tag for diesel forklifts. You may even need to install a diesel refilling station at your facility. Electric forklifts are also costly, given the cost of keeping them charged and purchasing new batteries.
