​

1. Propane (LPG) Forklifts

✔ Most common in mid-size warehouses
✔ Tanks are often exchange-based (you swap empty tanks for full ones)

Fuel consumption:

Roughly 0.6–1.0 gallon per hour of operation

Typical cost examples:

At $3.00/gal → $1.80–$3.00 per hour

At $3.50/gal → $2.10–$3.50 per hour

Annual cost (2,000 hours/year):

$3,600–$7,000

​

2. Electric Forklifts

Electric forklifts don’t have “fuel” in the traditional sense, but you pay for electricity and battery charging infrastructure.

Typical energy use:

~10–20 kWh per shift (varies with truck size and duty cycle)

Cost per shift (15 kWh at $0.15/kWh):

15 kWh × $0.15 = $2.25 per shift

Annual electricity cost (2,000 shifts):

~$4,500

Key points:

Often cheaper if you have off-peak rates or solar power

Opportunity charging vs battery swap affects usage
