LPG forklift truck case studies

“One of our company principals is ‘Respect for Our Environment’ and we wanted to introduce a more environmentally friendly truck to our Northampton depot, that is as efficient as a diesel powered truck but with the environmental advantages."

Derek Boghurst, Sainsbury’s Material Handling Manager, Logistics

“The decision to switch from a mixed fleet of diesel and electric powered forklift trucks to an LPG fleet was initially based on the environmental savings demonstrated by Calor LPG. It offers much fewer carbon emissions than diesel and eliminates the need to have electric batteries on charge 24 hours a day."

Mick Cragg, Marshalls Yard Manager

"When considering potential fuel options my concern was flexibility
and downtime. I know that if a truck runs out of LPG it is a quick
and simple procedure to refuel."

Nigel Parkes, Managing Director

"LPG was ideal for this environment as the machines can work inside as well as outside, and only take minutes to re-fuel."

Chris Evans, Group Logistics Manager

“To ensure we comply with the health and hygiene standards we couldn’t have a diesel machine anywhere near the bread. The emissions are just too high for a food production area.”

Doug McLaren, Allied Bakeries’ Transport controller

“The telemetry system allows me to spend more time running my business without the added burden of having to worry about gas levels.”

Mr Dunne, Managing Director of Dunne Animal Feeds

“We needed machines that could work outside and be able to operate comfortably over the uneven ground. The LPG trucks provide the flexibility and reliability needed for this 24 hour operation.”

Julian Hill, Facilities manager
