Become A Power Lifter
Propane is a leader in the material handling market because it offers a number of key advantages over other fuels.
Lower Emissions
Propane-powered forklifts can be used safely indoors or outdoors, because they operate so cleanly. Take upstream emissions into account — from the generation of electricity — and propane forklifts beat electric models as well.
Greater Productivity
Propane forklifts don't lose power like electric models, and only require a quick and easy cylinder change to get back to work. Electric models take hours to recharge.
Proven Performance
Propane is an ideal fuel for material handling; it's the first choice of fuel for warehouses of all kinds across the country.
Abundant Supply
With more than 70 percent of propane production coming from domestic natural gas, the U.S. produces enough of its own propane to exceed customer demand.
Propane Products For Material Handling
Forklifts
Propane powered forklifts will help you raise productivity, lower emissions, and can safely operate indoors or outdoors.
Storage & Distribution
With propane cylinders refilled by your provider and stored onsite, you can keep forklifts on the job as long as necessary.
Light-Duty Vehicles
Propane autogas is proven to be an efficient source of energy for light-duty vehicles. Because of its reliable performance and reduced maintenance expenses, propane is trusted for construction companies, taxi services, law enforcement, and other municipal organizations.
Medium-Duty Vehicles
Medium-duty fleets like food and beverage delivery, transit and paratransit, and more trust propane autogas for reliable performance. These businesses know that the simplified maintenance of propane autogas helps keep more vehicles on the road and out of the shop.
Propane Can Do That: Material Handling
When we refuel our forklifts, it's nice to be able to go to a cage, grab a cylinder, take it to the forklift, or bring the forklift to the cage, and within minutes we are up and operating again. Bryan Mensch, Senior Exhibit Manager, Renze Display
