Q: Can propane forklifts run indoors?
A: Propane forklifts can run indoors because of their low emissions of carbon monoxide, sulfur oxide and nitrogen oxide. They can also run outdoors in rainy conditions without sustaining damage (unlike electric forklifts). This makes propane ideal for the 68% of forklift fleets that need to run indoors and out.
Q: How long can a forklift run on a single propane cylinder?
A: Generally, a forklift cylinder will power a forklift for eight hours . So you can typically count on an entire shift on a single cylinder. And when it’s time to refuel, all you need to do is exchange the empty cylinder for a full one. There’s no extended charging period the way you have with an electric forklift.
Q: Do propane forklifts slow down when the cylinder runs low?
A: Absolutely not. Propane forklifts continue to operate at full power until the last drop of fuel. By contrast, electric forklifts lose lifting and moving power as they run out of juice.
Q: Does it cost a lot to maintain a propane forklift engine?
A: Propane produces fewer engine deposits than gasoline or diesel, keeping your maintenance costs low. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, propane’s low carbon and low oil contamination characteristics can result in longer engine life.
