A propane forklift is the most versatile warehouse tool

A propane forklift is the most versatile warehouse tool because it can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications. A properly-tuned propane engine emits little CO2 and water vapor, so it is a lower polluting source than its diesel-powered counterparts.  Propane is a cost-effective tool and can be refilled easily, preventing business disruptions and downtime. Propane is the top choice to fuel forklifts by businesses in the US.

Forklift Propane Tanks

90% of propane forklifts use the same-size propane tank

The vast majority of propane forklifts use 8-gallon (33-pound) liquid propane tanks that last 8 hours of runtime. Some larger forklifts require a 10-gallon (43-pound) propane tank. These forklifts are used on bigger jobs. The vast majority of Pinnacle customers who use a propane forklift use an 8-gallon tank. 

These propane tanks are available in steel and aluminum. It is important to follow all safety procedures when operating a forklift and while changing the propane tank. If a tank is improperly installed, then the forklift will not operate correctly. The process of replacing an empty forklift propane tank with a full one is simple when you follow the correct procedures. Getting your propane refilled is easy too when you use Pinnacle Propane's website and hassle-free tools. Pinnacle will make sure your business never runs out of the propane it needs for vital operations.
