Frequently Asked Questions About Forklift Fueling

Propane is a clean-burning fuel that is safe for indoor and outdoor use. Propane forklifts are also easier to maintain than gasoline or diesel models, which means less downtime and fewer service disruptions. Refueling is fast and simple. Swap the empty cylinder for a full one, and your team is back to work in minutes with no spills or delays.

Forklifts typically run on liquid propane gas (LPG), stored in specially designed cylinders that mount horizontally on the equipment. These cylinders are full of commercial-grade propane, the same clean-burning fuel used in many residential and commercial applications, but packaged and regulated for safe industrial use. Pico Propane and Fuels only supplies high-quality LPG and ensures every cylinder meets safety standards for forklift operations.

Forklifts require specialized propane cylinders designed specifically for horizontal mounting and safe fuel delivery during operation. Unlike standard tanks, forklift cylinders have internal features that allow liquid propane to flow properly while the tank is on its side. They also include safety valves and fittings tailored to industrial use. Improper propane tank use can lead to performance issues or safety hazards, so always stick with certified forklift-grade cylinders.

Electric forklifts are quiet and produce zero emissions. However, they are more expensive upfront, requiring costly transportation and maintenance for batteries. Manufacturing and transporting batteries for electric forklifts require significant energy and resources, often relying on coal-fired power plants that contribute to air pollution and water contamination.

In contrast, propane forklifts cut emissions across the board, reducing SOx emissions by 17%, NOx emissions by 17% and greenhouse gases by 16% compared to gasoline-powered models. Additionally, electric forklifts rapidly lose performance with frequent use. Propane forklifts are more affordable than electric models, eliminating the need for long charging cycles. They deliver consistent power throughout the workday, with quick cylinder swaps that minimize downtime and short. They are more durable on inclines, perform reliably in wet outdoor conditions and do not require indoor charging, which frees valuable floor space. With propane, you get a reliable fuel source at an affordable, competitive price.
