Lift Truck Tank Safety
The propane powered forklift is among the most popular types of lift trucks. These vehicle are powered by propane, that come with some considerations that should be accounted for. It is extremely vital that Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is worn all the time so as to be safe.

PPE or Personal Protective Equipment
Propane gas is really cold. Very cold in fact that contact to your skin can cause severe burns to happen. Whenever you are re-fueling or exchanging the propane tank, be sure to put on goggles or a full face shield and thick gloves. PPE or Personal Protective Equipment is a requirement to be utilized on site so as to keep the operator as safe as possible. Personal Protective Equipment or PPE is a standard workplace requirement for most businesses utilizing this equipment and if the driver does not have the correct things on, such as steel-toe boots, a hardhat, goggles and so on than she or he would be banned from utilizing the machine.

Inspect the Valve
If you are in the process of exchanging the tank, be certain that the valve on the new tank is absolutely turned off prior to connecting the fuel line. This is extremely vital because when you are inserting the fuel line into an open valve, you will release the propane gas. This situation can result in a potentially hazardous condition.

Fire Extinguisher
Having a fire extinguisher on hand when re-fueling is occurring or during the time the tank is being changed out is another vital safety measure to have implemented. The majority of companies have fire extinguishers located next to the refueling post. It is better to have one close and not require it, than to need one and not have one handy. Nearly all safety rules require this is set up on location also.

Secure the Tank
Most propane tanks are strapped securely into place by some kind of strap or restraining device. Be sure that this device is correctly functioning and properly used so that you can prevent the tank from falling or shifting, since this could also lead to a dangerous condition.
