Benefits of LPG forklifts

When you're choosing your forklift one of the main factors on which one you decide on is what type of fuel will your forklift be run on. The three main forklift sources for forklifts are LPG, diesel and electric; all have their pros and cons depending on the environment you will use the forklift and the type of work that will be carried out.

Reduces your carbon footprint

Forklifts that fuelled by LPG have found to produce up to 97% less particulate matter and 23% less CO2 compared to forklifts that use diesel when lifting a one tonne load. Research has shown that when a LPG forklift has been fitted with a three-way catalyst, hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide emissions were reduced to almost next to nothing. With LPG forklifts you significantly reduce the risk of contamination from spillages because LPG vaporises which means a cleaner and less hazardous working environment and will see your carbon footprint reduced.
