Give your forklift fleet a lift

Logistics and supply chain managers are coming under increased pressure to react faster to customer demands, provide flexible shipping options, and operate at a profit. LPG powered forklift trucks are essential to this process. At AvantiGas we’re one of the leading UK suppliers of Bulk LPG and LPG Cylinders. We partner with businesses throughout the country to ensure their forklift truck fleets are fully fuelled, and are running efficiently and safely all year round.

LPG Powered fleets are an extremely versatile option for fleet managers. With lower CO2 and soot emissions than their diesel counterparts, LPG trucks can move easily and efficiently between indoor and outdoor environments. They also require less maintenance due to the cleaner properties of LPG. Refuelling is simple; cylinders can be refilled from an onsite bulk tank or just changed over when necessary; removing the need for long battery charging times. Trucks fuelled with LPG are operational and ready to work in minutes.’

Modern Challenges – Modern Solutions 

Whether you are upgrading your fleet to LPG or looking for a supplier who understands your business needs, our “Complete Forklift LPG Solution” could enable you to reduce your carbon footprint, increase production levels, and manage growing pressures to reduce costs. Our reliable and cost effect fuel supply allows you to operate your fleet efficiently and safely while addressing modern business challenges.

Jon Shepherd, National Sales Manager, says “We serve a wide range of businesses, from large multi-site logistics companies, to family run businesses all using LPG to fuel their fleet. Common factors affect all of them – cost-efficiency, carbon reduction, and safety. Whilst the awareness of LPG’s advantages over other fuels has grown, there’s less understanding of the additional operational and safety benefits LPG can bring, this is why we have developed our Complete Forklift LPG Solution” 

Minimise Risk throughout your Business 

We are proud of our health and safety record, and have designed our solution to minimise risk for your business in all aspects of forklift fuelling.  

If a reliable and cost effective bulk LPG supply is right for your business, transferring your energy supply to AvantiGas is easy; our in-house engineers will carry out a site inspection, perform all relevant safety checks, draw up a bespoke LPG installation design for your site, then proceed with installation and commissioning. We will also provide continuous maintenance and safety checks of your LPG storage.  Our delivery drivers perform a visual check with every bulk LPG delivery in addition to a scheduled maintenance plan. 

A bulk solution minimises risk to your operator by eliminating the manual handling process of changing old for new cylinders. We also run a CPD accredited training scheme to advise your operators on best practice for safe forklift refuelling when switching over to a bulk supply.  

Helping Deliver Your Future

LPG fleets have minimal downtime, with no battery to recharge, safe and efficient fuelling, and little maintenance required. We use in-house automated delivery technology to understand your fuel demands to ensure a reliable fuel supply. Looking at trends in your usage and fleet operation we will develop a fuel distribution plan around peak times, so your LPG is ready for when your fleet needs it the most. 

As one of the UK’s major LPG suppliers, we are committed to transitioning the LPG industry to 100% bio-LPG by 2040. Our Bio-propane is efficient and affordable, offering carbon reduction of up to 95% from conventional LPG. It is certificated and approved by an independent third party, so you will be able to evidence how much carbon you have saved by switching to bio-propane.

Bottles or bulk supply, which LPG supply is right for you?

Depending on the size of your fleet and typical fuel usage, we can advise if bulk storage or individual gas bottles is the best option for you. There is no difference in the LPG, just how you refuel your fleet.

For businesses with a higher demand for operational run time, the fixed refillable bottles on your forklifts are refilled in a matter of minutes from a bulk LPG storage vessel. We will organise the installation and maintenance of the tank, and schedule deliveries around your usage.

For more flexible use, our individual bottles will be stored onsite, and simply when needed the empty cylinder is replaced with a fresh one. We will schedule deliveries of  fresh? cylinders and take the used ones away, depending on your business demands and individual fuel plan
