Propane That Pulls Its Weight

Fuel that shows up ready to work, powered by CityServiceValcon

CityServiceValcon has powered the work behind our communities for more than 90 years, delivering propane that keeps things moving without a fuss.

So where does propane really shine? We’re taking a closer look at two places it makes a big impact: inside the warehouse and out in the field.

Your Forklift’s Favorite Upgrade

Warehouses don’t have time for slowdowns, surprise outages, or equipment that taps out mid-shift. That’s where propane earns its keep.

It runs independently of the grid, so when the lights flicker, your operation doesn’t.

It’s also a cost-saving and efficient way to power your forklifts:

  • Refuel in seconds, not hours. Swap a cylinder and you’re back in business. No waiting around for a charge.

  • One tank = a full workday. A single cylinder can cover an 8-hour shift without breaking a sweat.

  • Fewer interruptions, more uptime. Propane cylinders last up to 3x longer than batteries, according to the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC).

  • Lower upfront cost. Propane forklifts can cost nearly 30% less than electric models.

  • Cleaner than you might think. Low emissions help keep indoor air quality in check for your team.

Jobsite Reliability (Without the Guesswork)

If you're building anything—from a single home to a large data center—propane gives you more control over how your projects are powered.

Why do contractors keep propane in the mix?

  • Ready when you are. No dependency on the grid.

  • Easy to store. Propane holds up over time without the usual headaches.

  • Keeps work on schedule. No delays waiting on power hookups.

  • Saves time and money. Propane systems require less maintenance than their diesel or gasoline counterparts.

Commercial builders can explore tools, case studies, and planning guides from PERC to help design smarter, more efficient builds.

For residential builders, there’s a business upside, too. Through the Propane Construction Research Program, builders can earn up to $1,000 per new home by installing propane appliances and sharing installation data.
