LPG Forklifts: 20 Models Compared
An LPG forklift runs a spark-ignition engine on liquefied petroleum gas from a swappable cylinder. It occupies the middle ground: cleaner than diesel and usable indoors with adequate ventilation, cheaper to buy than electric, and refuelled in the time it takes to change a bottle rather than the time it takes to charge a battery. Dual-fuel versions that also run on petrol are common. Compare engine power, capacity and turning radius, and put your real gas price into the electric vs LPG vs diesel calculator before assuming one is cheaper.
