Forklift Refueling
Propane forklifts can be refueled by a simple cylinder change or from a bulk fuel tank. Local propane marketers often provide cylinder exchange programs that deliver filled cylinders to the work site. One full 33-lb. propane tank will last approximately 8 hours, depending on use. Propane refueling stations with state-of-the-art safety features can also be installed onsite. Fuel cylinders and carburetion components meet or exceed strict national code specifications.
