When it comes to energy efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, propane consistently outperforms electricity in material handling, transportation, and beyond. At Mid-Atlantic Propane Exchange, we are committed to providing solutions that reduce costs, increase efficiency, and minimize environmental impact.
Propane vs. Electric: The Performance Advantage
🔹 Reliable Power – Propane equipment delivers consistent, full-power performance without the decline that electric batteries experience over time.
🔹 Lower Operating Costs – On average, propane forklifts cost less per hour to operate compared to electric, without the added expenses of charging stations and battery replacements.
🔹 Minimal Downtime – While electric forklifts require up to 8 hours to recharge, a propane tank swap takes just minutes, keeping operations running smoothly.
🔹 All-Weather Operation – Unlike electric alternatives, propane-powered equipment operates efficiently in any climate, including cold and wet conditions.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Propane is not just about performance—it’s about lower emissions and a smaller carbon footprint. According to studies conducted by the Propane Education & Research Council:
✅ 76% fewer sulfur oxide (SOx) emissions than electric forklifts
✅ 97% fewer nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than diesel alternatives
✅ 97% fewer hydrocarbon emissions than diesel engines
With full-fuel-cycle efficiency, propane reduces greenhouse gas emissions at every stage, making it a cleaner alternative to electric power when considering total energy consumption.
Minimizing Your Carbon Footprint the Right Way
💡 Switching to propane in forklifts, fleet vehicles, and heating solutions ensures:
✔ Sustainable energy usage without compromising productivity
✔ Lower overall emissions compared to electric and diesel options
✔ Cost-effective energy solutions with high reliability
