FAQs

How do I know what size forklift gas bottle I need for my equipment?

Determining the appropriate size of a forklift gas bottle depends on factors such as the forklift’s fuel consumption rate, operating hours, and the size and type of the forklift itself. It’s recommended to consult your forklift manufacturer or simply ask us to help you determine the right size for optimal performance.

What is the typical lifespan of a forklift gas cylinder?

The typical lifespan of a forklift gas cylinder can vary based on factors such as usage, maintenance, and compliance with safety standards. However, in terms of operating time, you can expect to get 7.5 hours out of our 18kg FLT propane gas cylinder and 4.5 hours out of our 11kg gas bottle.

How can I minimise fuel waste and maximise the efficiency of my forklift trucks?

To minimise fuel waste and maximise forklift efficiency, practices such as regular maintenance, proper tuning of equipment, training for operators on fuel-efficient driving techniques, and monitoring fuel consumption can be implemented. Additionally, using properly sized gas bottles and avoiding unnecessary idling can help optimise fuel usage.
