Propane Forklifts

One inconvenience of propane tanks is to have to change, however there is little risk to running out of fuel on a propane lift truck. These models tend to be cheaper to use than the electric and diesel model forklift. The debate to whether or not the propane emissions are cleaner compared to diesel emissions continues in the industry.



When it comes to performance, propane forklifts seem to handle better than the majority of electric models available on the market when the task needs high applications and constant duty drive line torque. There are several electric models that are reputed to handle equally or better. Depending on the specific circumstances, propane lifts may or may not be suitable for handling food and edible goods. As long as WorkSafeBC criteria are met, propane forklifts are acceptable for most indoor use.



The Disadvantages of LPG Propane Forklifts

The LPG's key disadvantages when compare to the diesel lift truck includes the fact that they are not as effective when performing jobs that need high and or constant duty drive line torque. These models have a liability exposure, due to the possibility of a fuel system leak whilst the truck is located indoors. Moreover, operators must be trained on the safe use of propane fuel. The rearward visibility off of the back end of the counterweight is limited. This is due to the location of the propane tank.



In comparison to electric and diesel models, cost of fuel is higher with propane models. There are possible injury claims due to the frequency and weight which propane tanks are changed; roughly every 6 hours of usage unless the place has a bulk fill station located there. Propane forklifts could be trickier to start and run smoothly when they are used in cold temperatures. In remote places, propane fuel is not always readily available. Over the next few decades, the cost of fossil fuels is projected to climb dramatically. Consider and plan for overall cost or repair and maintenance, as well as the total cost of ownership to be the highest of the 3 options.



There is a real possibility that the LPG lift truck models will be perfect for you, but would ultimately depend on what your needs are. It is better to take into account your specific lifting needs and loads in addition to the types of environments you would be using the machine in order to be sure that you invest in the right unit to suit your needs.
