Benefits for the user
- Consistent power
The liquid intake prevents the gas from “freezing” during long shifts – the truck maintains its torque even in freezing conditions.
- Easy to maintain
Quick-lock bayonet connector speeds up bottle changes; no loose nuts or keys.
- Cost-effective
A propane-powered forklift produces low particle emissions – lower indoor ventilation costs compared to a diesel forklift.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use the same bottle to power a forklift and a heater?
No. The liquid intake bottle is for the engine. Gas burners and heaters use a steam intake bottle.
Is there a backlash in the valve?
Yes, the bottle has an RPV check valve to prevent liquid leakage.
Do I need some kind of contract or do I have to leave a deposit?
You can either buy your own bottle (cover fee) or we will replace your empty bottle with a new one, in which case add the 11kg motor gas steel bottle refill to your shopping cart.
