Propane forklift? I only know with diesel and electric.

About 20 years ago I worked at K-Mart in California. They had Propane forklifts. It was a big K-Mart. We had two!

Yup, they are pretty common

They are very common in Australia. IDK about elsewhere.

I think because its easy to keep a stash of pre-filled gas bottles in the average small warehouse, as opposed to a drum of smelly diesel and some way to pump it.

I think it is because the exhaust is much cleaner than with diesel or gasoline.

That makes sense too. Cant imagime being stuck in a little warehouse with a diesel forklift, and all the smell of that

They're popular in Canada too. One of my previous workplaces had a large supply of propane on site for other production purposes and we could refill the forklift tanks anytime.
