Forklift Gas Bottle – What is a Forklift Gas Bottle? LPG Forklift Gas
A forklift gas bottle (LPG forklift gas cylinder) is a pressure vessel for storing, transporting and supplying LPG forklift gas (forklift truck gas) to the forklift engine for LP gas forklift.
A forklift gas bottle is typically made from steel or aluminium which is drawn, pressed and/or welded into a cylindrical shape.
There is a threaded opening in one end for the attachment of a LPG forklift gas valve to control the release of the LPG forklift gas (forklift truck gas) contained in the forklift gas bottle (LPG forklift gas cylinder).
The forklift gas bottle is unique in two ways.
Unlike other gas bottles that are used in a vertical position, a forklift gas bottle is used horizontally for LP gas forklift but stored vertically.
There are special brackets on the back of the LP gas forklift that hold it in the horizontal position.
The other unique feature is that a forklift gas bottle is a liquid withdrawal gas bottle, as opposed to most gas bottles that are vapour withdrawal.
Forklift gas bottle contains LPG forklift gas (forklift truck gas), which is LPG (propane), in Australia.
In Australia, the most common forklift gas bottle size are the 15kg forklift gas bottle and the 18kg forklift gas bottle (LPG forklift gas cylinder) for LP gas forklift.
