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)
This simple chemical structure
provides natural gas with its clean
burning characteristics

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
Natural Gas Forklift Benefits
Benefits of fueling your forklifts with CNG vs. LPG:
Current Propane Cost =
higher CO
back injury risk
frostbite potential
productivity losses
air makeup costs
Cleaner Air
Safer Workplace
Injury Reduction
Economics & Cost-Savings
The System pays for itself with no capital investment required!
Your current monthly propane budget pays for the CNG system:
Natural Gas + All in Lease
(refueling system & forklift conversion)
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
