CLEAN AIR AND LOW EMISSIONS

Propane is a non-toxic fuel that burns clean and is safe for indoor use. That’s one reason why more than 80 percent of Class 4-5 forklifts run on propane. Unlike gasoline or diesel, there is no evaporation or spillage loss from the forklift cylinder, so you don’t have to worry about evaporative emissions.

Propane produces less carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxide emissions than gasoline or diesel. Emissions from propane lifts are on a par with compressed natural gas.* Propane is FDA- and EPA-approved for use in many food-processing plant operations.

*Tests conducted by Southwest Research Institute confirm there is no significant difference in emissions between propane and compressed natural gas forklifts.
