Improving Your Operations with the Help of Propane Solutions
No matter what business you manage, the bottom line is always top of mind. Keeping your eye on efficiency, cost, and value is right up there with delivering a great product or service. And that’s exactly why you should know all the benefits of commercial propane.
Manufacturing, construction, warehousing, agriculture, landscaping, hospitality, and a broad range of other industries all rely on commercial propane. So, whether you need bulk propane for your business, or a cylinder exchange program, the experts at Pico Propane can help you make the most of propane for your business here in North Carolina or Southern Virginia.
Why Choose Propane?
The reason propane is such a great fuel for commercial uses is that it’s so versatile. It can be used for heating, operating machinery, running vehicles, and more. Additionally, 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.
Agricultural Propane Supply and Service Solutions
Propane delivers consistent heat ideal for warming livestock barns, hatcheries, and greenhouses, and it’s non-toxic, 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. Here are just a few pieces of equipment that can benefit from propane power:
- Commercial mowers and landscaping equipment
- Irrigation equipment
- Flame-weeders
- Crop drying
- Greenhouse and barn heating
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 distinct 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
