From manufacturing, construction and warehousing, to agriculture, landscaping, hospitality and a broad range of other industries, commercial propane can help you provide value to your customers without hurting your bottom line. Pico has propane solutions for a wide range of commercial applications. Here are 20 great ways propane will benefit your business:
1. Propane is better for the environment, and that’s more and more important to your customers.
2. Compared to other heating fuels, including electricity, propane heats quickly and burns cleanly, and leaves a smaller carbon footprint.
3. Propane costs on average 2.5 times less per Btu than heating with electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy
4. Propane is nontoxic and can’t harm soil or groundwater.
5. Propane has a very narrow range of flammability.
6. Propane is efficient for heating, and provides consistent heat ideal for warming livestock barns, hatcheries and greenhouses.
7. Clean-burning propane can power much of your landscaping and agricultural equipment, from commercial mowers to irrigation engines.
8. Propane flame weeders deliver effective, organic weed control.
9. Propane is an ideal fuel for crop drying.
Propane fueled forklifts will keep your warehouse, construction, or industrial facilities running smoothly with less downtime. Here are just a few of the advantages:
10. Propane-fueled forklifts can be used outdoors in wet conditions, unlike electric-powered forklifts.
11. Propane-powered forklifts will operate at 100% power as long as there’s propane in the cylinder. An electric forklift loses power as the battery drains.
12. Refueling is quick and easy with replaceable cylinders and our convenient cylinder exchange service. Recharging an electric forklift takes equipment out of service for hours, slowing down operations.
13. Propane-powered forklifts also handle heavy loads better and are more capable when it comes to inclines.
14. In addition to forklifts, propane can be used to power a wide range of equipment, including welding equipment, asphalt heaters, concrete grinders, saws, polishers, trowels, and dust extractors, pressure washers, small cranes, water pumps, floor buffers and more.
15. Propane puts less wear on equipment, keeping it out of the shop and keeping your operations running smoothly.
16. Professional chefs prefer gas for cooking.
17. Hotels, hospitals, nursing facilities all benefit from propane for cooking, water heating and space heating, as well as for industrial washers and clothes dryers, just to name a few.
18. Food trucks use propane to power mobile kitchens.
19. Resorts and country clubs use propane for everything from commercial kitchens groundskeeping equipment.
20. Restaurants and hotels use propane for cooking as well as outdoor space heaters and firepits.
