Propane vs. Battery-Powered Forklifts
Clean-burning propane powered forklifts are the intelligent work horse of choice for most manufacturing and warehouse operations.
Propane
100% power availability until the cylinder is empty
Easy cylinder change-out means little downtime
Constant source of available power
Reliable, consistent source of fuel
Lower long term operating costs
Lower capital Costs
No Cylinder Maintenance Required
Battery Power
Fading power as battery charge lowers
Typically, forklift batteries take eight hours to charge and need an additional eight hours to cool down before use
Batteries last an average of five years before requiring replacement or reconditioning
Not all batteries can be reconditioned and reconditioned batteries will only provide power for roughly half of the time compared to new
Batteries typically cost as much as 30% of the cost of the forklift, with a life span of a few years before requiring some form of re-investment.
Propane powered forklifts cost roughly 30% less, on average, than battery powered units of equivalent capacities.
Changing and charging batteries takes a great deal of time on a regular basis and requires significant and complicated procedures to ensure safety and efficiency
