A UL approval, Type "LP" tag means that the forklift truck was propane powered when it left the factory. I have seen many instances where a forklift was originally type "G", which is gasoline powered, and then converted to propane. In the US, if OSHA where to check a truck that had a type "G" tag on it but was converted to propane they could make you have have UL approve the conversion which is incredibly expensive.

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
