Why use LPG for ForkLift Trucks?

LPG-powered FLTs are perfect for indoor use because they generate little operating noise

There are several reasons why more and more FLT operators are choosing LPG from Shell to power their forklift truck fleets in all industries.

	Clean burning LPG is a clean-burning fuel with few harmful emissions
	Quiet operation FLTs using LPG generate little operating noise, providing a good working environment when used indoors
	Versatile LPG-fuelled FLTs are versatile, can be used indoors and outside, eliminating the cost, inconvenience and health and safety implications of running two separate fleets with one set of drivers
	Suitable for dirt and odour sensitive product movement Because LPG is clean burning, it's better for dirt and odour sensitive product movement
	Achieving environmental accreditation The low levels of hydrocarbons emitted by LPG can help businesses in their quest for achieving increasingly valuable environmental accreditation
	Fast refuelling LPG-powered FLTs are quick to refuel. This removes unnecessary downtime and makes them ideal for continuous operation
	Cost reduction Using LPG offers great fuel economy and low maintenance costs, which reduce day-to-day running costs
	Powerful LPG has a high calorific value and is therefore capable of powering the movement of heavy loads
	Availability All the world's leading forklift truck manufacturers produce versions capable of running on LPG
	Storage solutions LPG can be stored in bulk tanks either above or below ground or in cylinders, making its storage extremely flexible
