Typical business applications include:
Space Heating
Heating units include boilers for large buildings, infrared heaters for large open spaces, and unit heaters for retail stores, garages, and other spaces that require large volumes of hot air. Propane equipment comes in a variety of sizes and you can use less propane to heat the same amount of space compared to alternatives.
Temporary Portable Heat
Infrared and forced-air heaters at construction and other sites keep workers warm and can be used to dry concrete and other materials. Propane is a great solution for all indoor and outdoor temporary heating needs. Keep your employees, materials, and facility warm wherever you go.
Forklifts
Propane-powered engines perform better and cost less to fuel than diesel or electric models. The initial purchase price is usually lower, too. Using propane for forklifts is easy to refuel, easy to store, and doesn’t spill or evaporate. There is less maintenance and cleaning required.
Vehicle Fuel
There are well-over more than 140,000 on-road propane vehicles in the United States. Many are in fleet applications, such as police cars, shuttles, and school buses. Propane vehicles have a high octane rating and low carbon and oil contamination that can help lead longer engine life.
Propane in Agriculture
Farms rely on propane for a wide range of uses. These include flame weeding, pest control, crop drying, poultry and pig brooding, stock tank heating, space heating in greenhouses, and frost protection in fields and orchards. Propane can increase efficiency and productivity.
