Forklift
Propane is a non-toxic, clean-burning fuel that can be used to safely power forklifts both indoors and outdoors. With propane, there is no spillage loss or evaporation into the atmosphere.
Propane forklift tanks, fuel lines and carburetion components meet or exceed strict specifications. Built-in safety devices automatically shut off the flow of fuel in case of an accident.
Propane forklifts can be used in indoor and outdoor applications. Propane is the most portable fuel. Propane cylinders can be stored and moved virtually anywhere within a work site.
There are seven classes of forklifts:
- Class 1: Electric motor, sit-down rider, counterbalanced trucks (both solid and pneumatic tires)
- Class 2: Electric motor, narrow aisle trucks (solid tires)
- Class 3: Electric motor hand trucks or hand/rider trucks (solid tires)
- Class 4: Internal combustion engine trucks (solid tires)
- Class 5: Internal combustion engine trucks (pneumatic tires)
- Class 6: Electric & internal combustion engine tractors (both solid and pneumatic tires)
- Class 7: Rough terrain forklift trucks (pneumatic tires)
Propane forklifts are primarily Class 4 and Class 5 forklifts.
