Why choose a gas forklift over diesel for a 5 tonne machine?
Gas (LPG) forklifts produce lower particulate emissions and operate more quietly than diesel models. This makes them better suited to indoor and well-ventilated environments as well as mixed indoor–outdoor sites. They still provide strong, consistent power with fast cylinder swaps that minimise downtime — giving you high capacity with cleaner, quieter performance.
