Find Out All the Ways Your Business Can Benefit
As a business owner, you have to keep a lot of balls in the air: efficiency, cost and value is right up there with delivering a great product or service. That’s why you should know all the benefits of commercial propane. Manufacturing, construction, warehousing, agriculture, landscaping, hospitality, and a broad range of other industries all benefit from using commercial propane over other fuel and energy sources. And whether you need bulk propane, or a cylinder exchange program, the experts at Pico Propane can show you how commercial propane will make keeping all those balls in the air easy.
Why Propane?
What makes propane such a great fuel for commercial uses? In a word: versatility. It can be used for heating, for operating machinery, and running vehicles. What’s more, not only is propane better for the environment—it’s great for your bottom line.
Compared to other heating fuels, including electricity, propane:
- Heats quickly and burns cleanly
- Leaves a smaller carbon footprint
- Costs on average 2.5 times less per Btu than heating with electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy
- Is extremely safe, with a very narrow range of flammability

Propane delivers consistent heat ideal for warming livestock barns, hatcheries, greenhouses, and it’s nontoxic, and can’t harm soil or groundwater. Clean-burning propane can power much of your landscaping and agricultural equipment, from commercial mowers to irrigation engines. Propane puts less wear on equipment, keeping it out of the shop and keeping your operations running smoothly.

Forklifts & Industrial Needs
Warehouse management, construction, and industrial facilities rely on forklifts. Let our team show you why propane fueled forklifts will keep your operation running smoothly with less downtime. Here are just a few of the advantages:
- Propane-fueled forklifts can be used outdoors in wet conditions, unlike electric-powered forklifts.
- Propane-powered forklifts will operate at 100% power as long as there’s propane in the cylinder. An electric forklift loses power as the battery drains.
- Refueling is quick and easy with replaceable cylinders. Recharging an electric forklift takes equipment out of service for hours, slowing down operations.
- Propane-powered forklifts also handle heavy loads better and are more capable when it comes to inclines.
Propane’s versatility is a plus for your business or job site. In addition to forklifts, propane can be used to power a wide range of equipment, including:
- welding equipment
- asphalt heaters
- concrete grinders, saws, polishers, trowels, and dust extractors
- pressure washers
- small cranes
- water pumps
- floor buffers
- and more
Hospitality & Food Service
Professional chefs prefer gas for cooking. Hotels, hospitals, nursing facilities all benefit from propane for cooking, water heating and space heating, as well as for industrial washers and clothes dryers, just to name a few.
- Food trucks
- Restaurants
- Laundromats
- Hotels
