Shell Hong Kong is promoting LPG for forklifts, using a marketing slogan "lifting around the clock".
Shell supplies Hong Kong, Macau and South China with a wide range of oil, gas and chemical products from its Tsing Yi facility.
The company says LPG-powered forklifts combine the advantages of diesel and electricity, without the disadvantages.
Martin Chung, a Shell Hong Kong representative, says LPG solves limited battery life and operation time lost in recharges. LPG was often the most economical fuel and led to longer engine life.
