Forklift LPG in brief
- Propane ≥ 95 % – reliable starting even at −40 °C
- KV screw valve, connected to the machine's liquid off-take valve (forklift connector): G.12 internal thread + quick-lock bayonet – the Finnish standard for forklift regulators
- Exchange the empty, get a full one – exchange and refill service within 1–2 business days
- Safe steel cylinder – CE-approved, pressure tested every 10 years
- Suitable for: warehouse and yard forklifts, gas forklifts, work machines, LPG generators
Benefits
-
Steady power: liquid off-take prevents the gas from freezing during long shifts – the forklift keeps its torque even in the cold.
-
Easy to service: the quick-lock bayonet connector speeds up cylinder changes; no loose nuts or spanners.
-
Cost-effective: a propane-powered forklift produces low particulate emissions – indoors this means lower ventilation costs than with a diesel forklift.

Frequently asked questions
Can I collect the cylinder myself?
Not at the moment. We do not have a pick-up point – LPG is always delivered to you. In the Helsinki region delivery takes 1–2 business days.
Which cylinders do you accept in exchange?
We only accept Finnish LPG cylinders that are in use in Finland, are intact and serviceable, and whose periodic inspection is valid.
Can the same cylinder be used for a forklift and a heating blower?
No. A liquid off-take cylinder is intended for an engine. Gas burners and heaters use a vapour off-take cylinder.
Does the valve have a non-return function?
Yes, the cylinder has an RPV non-return valve to prevent liquid leaks.
Do I need a contract or a deposit?
No. You can either buy your own cylinder (shell fee) or exchange your empty cylinder for a full one – in that case add this refill to the cart.
