LPG powered forklifts

Two no-nonsense tariffs 

Choose from a long-established fuel for forklifts, LPG, or future-proof Futuria Liquid Gas, our sustainable alternative. Their chemical make-up and performance are the same, and so is the cost. Both will fuel your forklifts for even better results than diesel.

Why choose Calor?

Because we share the load

Our customers have trusted us to keep their businesses running for almost a century. And we’re the leaders in the UK for both LPG and Futuria Liquid Gas. But in case you need any more convincing…

  • Auto-ordering

    'With our bulk tank and refillable cylinder solution, we'll order your gas for you when you're running low.****.

  • Caring for your cylinders

    You’ll also get Magnatract™ – a technology that stops metal particles getting into the fuel injection system and causing faults.

  • It’s backed up with expert training

    Once you’re all set up, our team can train your staff to make sure they know exactly how to use your new forklift fuel.

How do I switch?

Switching made simple

We’ll start with a chat to work out whether a bulk tank and refillable cylinders will work for you, or if you’d be better off with just exchangeable cylinders. If a tank is the answer, here’s what will happen next.

  • Quote

    We’ll carry out a survey on your site, then provide you with a quote.

  • Switching

    You'll arrange for your current installation to be removed.

  • Install

    Our engineers will install the tank (or tanks).

  • Fuel

    Your LPG forklift trucks will be ready to fuel up.

 "In our discussions with Calor, it was clear that choosing their Green Energy Plan, which provides a blend of 40% renewable BioLPG and 60% conventional LPG for our FLT fleet, would help drive our sustainability agenda and deliver clear benefits in a number of areas." Read the case study

 “We have 20 FLTs that work right across the factory… Running 24/7, the fleet is required to work indoors and out and needs to manage many heavy loads, as well as meeting our aim to improve air quality. With this in mind, we opted for LPG refillable gas bottles to ensure simple refuelling with very little downtime.” Read the case study

**Table provided by kind permission of GemServ based on emission factor calculations prepared by BEIS 2021. Based on our 40/60 Futuria Liquid Gas (previously BioLPG) Tariff : through a method called mass balancing, we ensure that for each Kg of LPG fuel you purchase from Calor an equal amount of renewable Futuria Liquid Gas energy is purchased and distributed amongst our customers in its place. By opting for a Futuria Liquid Gas tariff, you’re buying into a more sustainable future and contributing to reducing the carbon emissions from the use of LPG.
