While Boehlke Bottled Gas upholds the highest standards of safety when it comes to our propane forklift cylinders and our exchange services, there are some essential best practices you and your employees need to follow.
Long-lasting, full power: Propane forklift cylinders are capable of providing ample power to last an entire shift, approximately eight hours. When the forklift runs out of propane, your workers won’t experience any downtime. They can quickly exchange the empty tank for a fresh one and resume work in as little as five minutes. On the other hand, electric forklifts require frequent recharging, which renders them unusable during these charging periods that can last eight hours or more. Additionally, refueling gasoline and diesel forklifts takes longer than a simple cylinder swap, and there is always a risk of fuel spills. Unlike electric forklifts that gradually lose power as they deplete their fuel, propane forklifts continue to operate at full power until the cylinder needs replacement. Not only can propane forklifts handle heavier loads, but they have also demonstrated superior performance on inclines compared to electric forklifts. All of these factors contribute to improved efficiency in completing your work.
Work in all conditions: While most electric forklifts are unable to operate in wet conditions, propane models offer the versatility to be used in both wet and dry environments. Whether you’re moving materials from indoors to outdoors, or vice versa, propane forklifts provide a safe and easy solution. Notably, unlike gasoline-powered forklifts, propane forklifts can be safely used indoors as well, making them a reliable choice for various settings.
Improved performance and efficiency: Propane, as a clean-burning fuel, offers several advantages for your forklift engines. By using propane as the fuel source, your forklifts will experience less damage, resulting in longer-lasting equipment and reduced repair needs. This, in turn, leads to long-term cost savings for your business. Furthermore, propane’s low emissions make it a more environmentally-friendly choice compared to electricity or gasoline-powered forklifts.
