What is an LPG Forklift?
An LPG forklift is a counterbalance truck with an engine that runs on liquefied petroleum gas, carried in a swappable bottle at the back. It sits between diesel and electric: cleaner than diesel, and quicker to refuel than charging a battery.
It suits sites where trucks move between the warehouse and the yard, or work long shifts with no time to recharge. For mainly outdoor work, see our diesel forklifts. For indoor-only work, our electric forklifts are quieter and produce no exhaust fumes. Or see all our counterbalance forklifts.
