Propellant gas for forklift trucks: Maximum mobility.

The diesel model emits odors in your hall and leaves an unsightly residue on the goods being moved? The electric version may be quiet and clean, but it often gets its wheels stuck in its hull at the charging station? In this case, you are absolutely right to consider LPG forklifts! They are powerful and durable like diesel forklifts, environmentally friendly like electric forklifts, and typically more cost-effective than both options. With liquefied petroleum gas as the fuel for your forklift fleet, you are in an advantageous position. When you partner with Westfalengas, you receive excellent advice and the right LPG supply concept tailored to your needs right away. This allows you to maintain the highest possible mobility for your forklift fleet while minimizing overall costs!

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about propellant gas for forklift trucks.

What benefits does utilizing propellant gas offer as a propulsion source for forklift trucks?

LPG as a drive for forklifts combines the power of a diesel forklift with the cleanliness of an electric forklift. In outdoor use, a LPG truck is as robust as a diesel-powered industrial truck.

How secure is the use of propellant gas as a forklift truck propulsion method?

Propellant gas as a drive for forklift trucks is safe. As with all combustibles and hazardous substances, the following applies: Proper handling in everyday use and compliance with all safety regulations protect against risks.

What expenses are associated with employing propellant gas for propulsion?

The cost of using LPG to power forklift trucks depends on various factors such as the layout of your LPG supply, the application profile, consumption and size of the truck.
