Forklift Truck Gas Bottles at Beales Market Gases
At Beales Market Gases, we supply high-quality gas bottles specifically designed for forklift trucks, ensuring your operations run smoothly, efficiently, and safely. Whether you’re managing a warehouse, construction site, or logistics centre, gas-powered forklifts offer a number of practical benefits that make them a smart alternative to electric or diesel models.
Why Choose Gas-Powered Forklifts?
Gas-powered forklift trucks deliver a powerful and efficient performance, making them ideal for a wide range of environments—both indoor and outdoor. Compared to electric models, they do not require lengthy charging times, allowing for continuous use across multiple shifts with minimal downtime. Unlike diesel forklifts, gas-powered models produce significantly fewer emissions, making them better suited for indoor use or enclosed spaces.
Additional benefits include:
-
Lower emissions, making them ideal for environmentally sensitive areas
-
No battery disposal or acid spillage risks, unlike electric models
-
Better handling on steep gradients
-
Improved lift and acceleration speeds due to lower overall vehicle weight
-
Consistent performance regardless of temperature, unlike battery-powered units
Gas forklifts strike the perfect balance between power, efficiency, and safety—making them a reliable choice for industries where productivity and clean operation are key.
How to Safely Store Your Forklift Gas Bottles
Proper storage of forklift gas bottles is essential for maintaining safety and ensuring optimal performance. Forklift Truck (FLT) cylinders, such as our 12kg and 18kg propane bottles, are specially designed to be stored and used horizontally, unlike standard gas bottles which must be kept upright.
Here are key safety guidelines for storing FLT gas bottles:
1. Store Horizontally, Using the Correct Orientation
FLT cylinders feature a stamped directional arrow on the base. This indicates the correct horizontal position for both use and storage, ensuring safe gas flow and preventing valve malfunction or leakage.
2. Use a Secure Storage Rack
Use a rack or cradle specifically designed to hold forklift bottles securely in the horizontal position. This prevents rolling or shifting and maintains the correct orientation.
3. Keep in a Well-Ventilated Outdoor Area
Always store cylinders in a well-ventilated, outdoor area, away from buildings and enclosed spaces. Good airflow reduces the risk of gas build-up in the event of a leak.
4. Keep Away from Ignition Sources
Store gas bottles away from flames, electrical equipment, direct sunlight, and other heat sources to minimise fire risk.
5. Secure Against Unauthorised Access
Use a locked cage or designated compound with appropriate safety signage to prevent tampering and unauthorised handling.
6. Routine Inspection
Check bottles regularly for signs of damage, corrosion, or leaks. Any compromised bottles should be removed from service immediately and reported.
By following these practices, you’ll ensure your forklift gas supply is safe, compliant, and always ready to support your operations.
