Forklift Fueling Services

On-Site Cylinder Refueling

Increase your lift operating team’s efficiency with on-site propane delivery. Simply place your order with Sandifer’s L.P. Gas & Service Co., Inc. and our professional service team will deliver propane directly to the job site. Our highly trained technicians will inspect and fill tanks, making sure equipment is up to legal standards of safety. Benefits of on-site refueling include increasing lift run time and saving space on cylinder storage in your facility.

Cylinder Exchange Service

Sandifer’s cylinder exchange service is another option for business owners who want to reduce time wasted on the floor. Instead of refueling empty cylinders at your facility, our certified service team will deliver pre-filled tanks and replace them on forklifts in need of a fill-up. The cylinder exchange service is the perfect solution for companies that prefer not to transfer propane liquid on site without sacrificing productivity.

Bulk Forklift Refueling Station

Are you playing catch-up with cylinder refills or exchanges? Sandifer’s is here to help your facility fuel supply stack up to your growing propane needs with refilling station installation services. When you add a bulk forklift refueling station to your factory or warehouse, keeping your machinery running becomes easier than ever. When tank levels drop, safety-certified staff members can simply refuel from your very own storage tank. The time and energy previously dedicated to scheduling deliveries can be allocated elsewhere to keep profits and production up.

Why Choose Propane?

Performance
Propane has a trusted track record for capacity and safety, fueling 670,000 forklifts in factories and warehouses across the United States. Propane-powered forklifts can operate faster than electric machines, which results in greater on-site productivity.

Safety
Employers choose propane for its unmatched reputation for safety in the workplace. All propane tanks, fuel lines, and components are required to meet strict national safety specifications. In addition, propane-fueled forklifts have automatic shut-off safety features that stop the flow of fuel in the event of an accident.

Lower Emissions
Propane-powered forklifts produce 19 percent fewer emissions than gasoline forklifts and 7 percent fewer emissions than diesel forklifts. Factoring in site-to-source emissions, propane’s total emissions are even less than electricity.

Domestic Production
Using forklifts that run on American-made propane reduces the dependence on foreign fuels. More than 70 percent of propane production comes from natural gas, which means the U.S. currently produces enough of its own propane to exceed customer demand.
