Why should I purchase an electric forklift versus a LPG (liquid propane gas) forklift?
If your business is involved in working in cold (cold storage or freezers, for example), you must use an electric forklift. An LPG forklift emits gas fumes and heat that will actually raise the level of the temperature in the area in which it is being operated. If, however, you are using your forklift outside where it could possibly rain or snow, LPG is strongly recommended as an electric forklift can short out if it gets wet. In general, an electric forklift is quieter and does not emit fumes, but requires recharging time (which could be substantial, depending on how much it has been used and the voltage of electricity available), while an LPG requires that you get the tank refilled (we recommend that you always have a full spare tank on the premises).
