Count On Powerful Performance

Propane-powered forklifts do more than move inventory — they give your productivity and bottom line a big lift, too.

Become A Power Lifter

With so many key advantages over other fuels, it’s no wonder that propane is a leader in the material handling market.

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.

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
