Benefits of Using CNG Forklifts

Benefits of On Site Natural Gas Refueling

• Emissions Reduction

• Injury Reduction

• Safest Fossil Fuel

• Used by many companies for ISO

14001

• Forklift Performance Benefits

• Most Convenient Refueling Process

• Economic Benefits

Emissions Reduction

• Drastically improve indoor air quality with natural

gas

Carbon monoxide exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and even death

Propane Forklift

Tests have shown that the use of natural gas forklifts can reduce carbon monoxide levels by up to 95%

Propane vs. Natural Gas Forklift Emissions

Emissions Reduction

Propane is composed of 3 carbon

atoms linked with 8 hydrogen

atoms (C3H8)

Propane, which has a more

complex chemical makeup than

methane, produces higher

emission levels

Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels?

Emissions Reduction

Methane is composed of one

carbon atom linked with four

hydrogen atoms (CH4)

Propane Health & Safety Risks

•Back injuries are the #1 workplace injury and generate the highest

number of Worker Compensation claims

CNG refueling eliminates injuries caused by the physical handling of propane cylinders

CNG cylinders are permanently mounted on the forklift

Propane Health & Safety Risks

•Exposure to liquid propane can cause

severe frostbite burns on bare skin

When liquid propane comes in contact with bare skin, it draws heat away from it as it evaporates, causing frostbite

CNG, which is naturally in a gaseous state, does not change states when exposed to the atmosphere

Propane Health & Safety Risks

•Propane is extremely flammable – Fire Hazard

CNG is less flammable due to its higher ignition point

CNG is lighter than air, so it rises & dissipates rapidly

The use of natural gas means no on-site storage of flammable liquids

• Longer engine life and less frequent maintenance

(oil is not contaminated by fuel, minimal carbon build-up)

• Reduced maintenance costs

• No engine knock due to high octane level (130 vs. 110)

• Natural gas is also the best cold starting fuel available

CNG vs. Electric ForkliftsDirect User Benefits

Electric Forklifts

• Substantial floor space is required

– Specific area is required for battery charging and exchange area

– Specific area is required for battery wash – must include special

filter processing to remove hazardous contaminants from the waste

water

– Specific area is required for employee wash in the event of

hazardous liquid spill

Electric Forklifts

• Using a hazardous product

– Recharging process emits hazardous gases and fumes that must

be vented to the outdoors

– Safety equipment is required to be worn during the battery

maintenance and changing process

– Excessive battery handling can lead to premature battery failure

Electric Forklifts

• Significant costs and missed production opportunities

– Lack of battery maintenance can result in replacement of costly batteries

– Productivity loss due to time required for handling batteries

• A quick fill in just 2 minutes

• No need to change fuel cylinders or batteries

• No indoor space required

• Refuel directly to the permanently mounted CNG cylinder

• No safety equipment is required to be worn

• Eliminate risks associated with on-site propane storage

• Increase productivity with ‘opportunity’ refueling

With FuelMaker, refueling is simple and convenient:

FuelMaker CNG Fueling System

• NO Investment or Capital Required!

Benefits of Natural Gas

• Natural Gas is the cleanest fossil fuel available– up to 95% cleaner than propane emissions

• Natural Gas is the safest fossil fuel available – over 75% of homes & business’s in Canada use Natural Gas

• Natural Gas is the most convenient fossil fuel available – if your facility has Natural Gas, we can install a station

• Natural Gas is the most economical fossil fuel – especially true when compared to current electricity costs
