Sierra Propane gets your forklifts moving

When you run a complicated business or building project, any lapse in fueling can grind your productivity to a halt. At Sierra Propane, we can arrange a propane cylinder plan that guarantees your forklifts always keep moving when you need them.

We have two options for your propane forklifts:

Forklift Cylinder Exchange
With this option, Sierra Propane will set up an exchange cage onsite for your business. We will provide your employees with comprehensive training on safe cylinder inspection and handling procedures. Working from our understanding of your business, we will arrange an automatic exchange schedule, ensuring that you never have to worry about slowing or stopping production.

Forklift Cylinder Refill
With this option, Sierra Propane sets up a cylinder refill station and tank so that you can fill up your cylinders on site. We provide training to your staff on safe cylinder filling practices. And we’ll set up a delivery schedule to make sure your tank always has ample fuel.

Whichever forklift cylinder option you choose, our team members will talk through your business’s processes to guarantee that we have a suitable propane refill plan.

Why choose propane for your forklifts?

If you’re deciding whether propane forklifts are the best option for your warehouse, distribution center, manufacturing facility or work site, consider some of the benefits of going with propane compared to other power sources:

• A propane cylinder will power a forklift for approximately eight hours. So, your driver can work an entire shift without stopping. But if the cylinder does run out, all your employee has to do is remove the empty tank and replace it with a full one. It takes virtually no time! Compare that to an electric forklift, which requires at least eight hours to recharge.
• Propane forklifts run at full power until the cylinder is depleted, while electric forklifts gradually lose power as their battery runs low. Propane forklifts can also carry larger weights and better manage inclines.
• Propane forklifts can run indoors, unlike diesel-fueled vehicles. Since propane is clean-burning — with minimal carbon, sulfur, nitrogen or particulate matter emissions —your workers will be able to breathe safely. Not only will your forklifts need less maintenance, but they’ll also last longer.
• Propane is especially useful during rainy weather conditions. Unlike electric forklifts, propane vehicles are unaffected by water damage. So, your outdoor forklifts can keep trucking without interruption!
