make sure when you are researching this you really do a good job

its like this lpg is not what makes the forklift effient it the fuel system of the forklift. and all brand have diferent motors and fual systems. making one more efficent than another.

and with electrics you are buying all your fuel up front. and how much fuel you buy is how big the battery is. and the other part is the charger. there are many options for charging the battery and depending on the type of charger you can have a difference in run times.

the two thing i tell my customers the advantage of owning electric over propane is the maint. cost are less ( less moving parts than I.C. forklifts and no emissions) and the other thing about electric is you are buying all your fuel up front so(battery) so you will have the same fuel cost over the life of your battery. the initial cost of a electric is more with buying your fuel up front. but I think total cost of ownership could be less depending on application.
