4. Benefits of Using CNG Forklifts

5. 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

6. Emissions Reduction
Drastically improve indoor air quality with natural gas
Tests have shown that the use of natural gas forklifts can reduce carbon monoxide levels by up to 95%
Propane Forklift
Carbon monoxide exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and even death

8. Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels?
Emissions Reduction
Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels?
A. CHEMISTRY
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
Propane

9. Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels?
Emissions Reduction
Q. Why such a big difference in emission levels?
A. CHEMISTRY
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
Methane

10. 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

11. 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

12. Propane Health & Safety Risks
Propane is extremely flammable – Fire Hazard
The use of natural gas means no on-site storage of flammable liquids
CNG is less flammable due to its higher ignition point
CNG is lighter than air, so it rises & dissipates rapidly

13. Natural Gas Forklift Benefits
Benefits of fueling your forklifts with CNG vs. LPG:
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

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

15. CNG vs. Electric Forklifts Direct User Benefits

16. 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

17. 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

18. 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

19. FuelMaker CNG Fueling System
With FuelMaker, refueling is simple and convenient:
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
NO Investment or Capital Required!

20. 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
