Don't pick the wrong type of forklift! If your business uses forklifts, it is important to pick the right type.


Why choose LPG Gas?

LPG forklifts are capable of maintaining 100% power throughout the day. Unlike electric forklifts, which can take hours to recharge, LPG forklifts can be refuelled with forklift gas in a matter of minutes. So, you have no downtime or added costs of acquiring extra batteries. Additionally, the initial capital cost is generally lower when compared with either electric or diesel forklifts. LPG forklifts can also be used both indoors and outdoors, unlike electric and diesel forklifts. This increased flexibility is essential if your business has both yard and warehouse storage applications. Also, LPG forklifts have the ability to push heavy loads at full capacity, up and down gradients faster and for a longer amount of time than electric forklifts.

Chat to the Commercial Marketing Manager at Elgas

Elgas' Commercial Marketing Manager, Ray Squires, said the company had Australia's largest LPG storage facility - also the largest storage facility in the southern hemisphere - which placed it in a strong position to offer security of supply to its customer base.

"Elgas operates through a number of regional centres as well, rather than just focussing on centralised operations like some of our competitors," he said.

Mr Squires said it was this regional presence, combined with a fast response time, that gave Elgas its competitive advantage.

"Our efficient and competent personnel will ensure that regular deliveries are maintained and that you derive maximum utilisation from the equipment installed," he said.

"The Elgas network is supported with more than 140 delivery tankers operating out of local outlets."

Elgas has a team of specialists that can calculate the most cost-effective amount of LPG required.

"One of the things Elgas can offer is a service which reviews clients' energy options, allowing them to choose an overall energy package that is sustainable and cost-effective for their options."
