Calor 18kg Propane Forklift Gas Bottle Refill | Staffordshire
The Calor 18kg Propane Forklift Gas Bottle is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade fuel solution engineered specifically to power liquid-offtake LPG forklift trucks and materials handling equipment. Contained within a highly visible red steel cylinder—often finished with a distinct black collar—this automotive propane tank is designed to deliver a high, continuous rate of liquid fuel withdrawal, ensuring your warehouse and site machinery operate at peak performance with zero engine drop-off.
Unlike standard vapor-withdrawal domestic cylinders, this specialized 18kg forklift bottle is built to lie horizontally when mounted onto industrial vehicles. It features advanced internal engineering, including flexible "memory plastic" dip tubes that resist fracturing under heavy vibration, alongside integrated Magnatrac® technology to magnetically trap metal particles and prevent catastrophic valve blockages. Standing at approximately 800mm–810mm high with a 315mm diameter, it stands as the largest forklift-specific cylinder in the Calor lineup, offering maximum commercial economy and prolonged operational runtimes.
Please note that this automotive propane cylinder is dedicated strictly to commercial material-handling trucks and access machinery and is not intended for domestic home use.
