Why LPG for your FLT?
With the introduction of the new EU Stage V standards for non-road mobile machinery earlier this year, more advanced cleaning systems and operating regimes are now required for diesel FLTs to ensure compliance. These processes take the vehicles out of service for longer and this is simply no good. In contrast, BioLPG or LPG FLT models can easily adapt to the changes by using a three-way catalytic converter to eliminate nitrous oxides. These are inexpensive, require minimal maintenance and do not have to undergo the lengthy regeneration processes associated with diesel particulate filters (DPF). In fact, new LPG forklifts are now available on the market which come with the converter built-in. Take a look at this list of LPG FLT manufacturers in the UK to transform your forklift fleet and eliminate the disadvantages that come with running your fleet on diesel and even electric.
