Royal Forklift has a wide selection of lightweight composite LPG tanks for forklift trucks for sale in Reading, PA. Composite tanks are a great deal lighter than steel tanks, so you’ll pay much less. They’ll also put a lot less strain on your forklift operators. Lifting heavy steel tanks can increase the chances of a serious injury to the shoulders, arms and back. Composite tanks greatly reduce that risk. Get in touch with a Royal Forklift representative to order your composite tanks as soon as you can.
Why Composite Cylinders are the Best Choice
Composite cylinders feature a seamless liner surrounded by a plastic casing wrapped in fiberglass. A durable, rugged outer case protects the casing. You don’t need to worry about any special types of adaptors to fill composite tanks, and they are all built in strict accordance with all DOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) guidelines.
You won’t be sacrificing anything by making the switch to composite tanks. They come with the same pressure-relief devices, valves and overfill-prevention components as both aluminum and steel tanks.
These are just some of the many benefits composite LPG tanks deliver.
- Safety – In addition to being safer from a lifting perspective, composite tanks also pose much less of a risk for an explosion. Steel tanks can explode when punctured, or exposed to fire. However, composite tanks will undergo a controlled burn – the composite resin will burn off gradually, while the casing and plastic liner will melt. Any fuel in the tank will also burn gradually – there will be no risk of a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Tests have shown that they won’t even explode when pierced by bullets.
- Durability – Composite cylinders use an advanced manufacturing process that makes them stronger and more durable. They won’t corrode or degrade, and won’t form any rust. All composite LPG tanks undergo rigorous testing, which is a major reason why millions of businesses across the globe already use them.
- Translucency – Since you can see inside a composite tank, you’ll no longer have to guess how much LPG remains. This will help give a big boost to the efficiency of your operations.
- Stability – Composite tanks have a stable, wide base so they won’t tip over.
- Ease of use – They are also very easy to pick up and move, since they come with an ergonomic grip.
