Forklift Gas Bottle – What is a Forklift Gas Bottle?
A forklift gas bottle is a pressure vessel for storing, transporting and supplying forklift gas to the forklift engine.
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 gas valve to control the release of the forklift gas contained in the forklift gas bottle.
The forklift gas bottle is unique in two ways.
Unlike other gas bottles that are stored and used in a vertical position, a forklift gas bottle is stored and used horizontally.
There are special brackets on the back of the 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 forklift 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.
