| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) | What capacities and mast heights are available? These forklifts cover 2,000–15,000 lb with mast heights from 80″ to 300″+, including low‑clearance trucker’s masts and high‑visibility 3‑stage options. Where are LP cushion forklifts typically used? They’re built for indoor industrial environments—manufacturing, distribution, food and beverage, packaging, and dock operations on smooth concrete floors. Why choose LP gas over electric or diesel? LP provides fast refueling, consistent power, and strong multi‑shift performance. It’s cleaner than diesel indoors and avoids the charging downtime of electric units. What mast options are available? Options include 2‑stage, 3‑stage, and 4‑stage masts with visibility‑optimized rails and lift heights suitable for racking, dock work, and low‑clearance loading. Are these forklifts CSA‑certified? Yes. Units can be delivered CSA B335‑compliant with full inspection, decals, manuals, and documentation. Can cushion forklifts operate outdoors? They can operate on smooth, paved surfaces, but are not suited for gravel, dirt, or uneven yards. Pneumatic‑tire IC forklifts are recommended for outdoor terrain. What fuel type do these forklifts use? These models run on LP gas (propane), with some configurations supporting dual‑fuel options depending on manufacturer. What attachments are supported? Common attachments include side‑shifters, fork positioners, clamps, rotators, and specialty forks, with compatibility depending on the capacity class. |
