1. No Downtime — Swap in 3 Minutes

Propane cylinder exchange takes under 3 minutes.
Electric? 6–8 hour recharge + 30–60 minute battery swap (if you even have a spare).
Result: Propane forklifts run 24/7 across multiple shifts without waiting.

2 Consistent Power All Shift Long

Propane delivers 100 % power from start to finish.
Electric voltage drops as the battery drains—up to 20–30 % loss in lifting speed and torque by end of shift.

3 Lower Total Cost of Ownership

4 Works in Any Environment

Cold storage? Outdoor yards? Wet conditions?
Propane performs flawlessly.
Electric batteries lose capacity in cold, can’t operate in rain, and require climate-controlled charging stations.

5 Cleaner & OSHA-Compliant

Modern propane forklifts meet or beat EPA and CARB clean-air standards—zero compromise on indoor use when properly ventilated.
