Why Companies Prefer Propane Forklifts
Propane is convenient, affordable, eco-friendly, and currently powers 670,000 forklifts in U.S. factories and warehouses. If you use forklifts at your North Texas company, then you know just how beneficial a fuel propane is. While there are many common misconceptions about propane forklifts, we at Cadenhead Servis Gas will explain why these forklifts are favored among commercial businesses.
Top 3 Reasons Businesses Prefer Propane Forklifts
Propane forklifts offer the most versatility and power.
Since 68% of forklift users utilize their fleet both indoors and outdoors, propane forklifts provide a clear advantage. Propane forklifts meet or exceed the nationwide indoor air quality standards and are available in up to 15,000 lb. applications. This versatility helps propane forklifts to meet the requirements for most fleets, except the most extreme applications.
Propane forklifts are environmentally friendly.
When compared to gasoline and diesel forklifts, and even electric ones as well, propane forklifts release fewer emissions; Even though electric forklifts produce zero emissions at the site of use, the total emissions of electricity generation and battery manufacturing outnumbers the emissions created from propane use. Propane is created primarily as a by-product of the natural gas refining process, so minimal emissions are produced to create propane.
Propane forklifts are less expensive to purchase and maintain.
Propane forklifts are less expensive to purchase and maintain compared to diesel, gasoline, and electric forklifts. Plus, forklift propane fleets can also save $1 or more per gallon of fuel compared to gasoline or diesel; bulk users of propane often receive a much lower fuel cost due to the lower cost per gallon of bulk deliveries. Additionally, propane racks, cylinders, or dispenser tanks are often provided to the forklift propane end-user at no cost.
