Forklift Propane Conversion Kits for Reliable LPG to Propane Fuel Switching
Switching a forklift engine from gasoline to propane keeps a fleet running longer between refuels and lowers long term maintenance costs, but only when the conversion kit matches the engine size and meets the safety standards required for pressurized fuel systems. Helmar Parts stocks complete and partial LPG conversion kits within our forklift propane parts selection, giving repair shops and fleet managers a direct path to safer, cleaner burning forklifts.
Complete and Partial LPG Conversion Kits for Four and Six Cylinder Engines
Our propane conversion kit lineup covers both four cylinder and six cylinder forklift engines. Complete kits like the KC 4 Universal LPG Conversion Kit and KC 6 Universal LPG Conversion Kit pair a vaporizer, regulator, and hose fittings in a single package, while partial kits such as the KP 4 and KP 6 Universal LPG Conversion Kits suit shops replacing individual system components on an existing setup. The BP 4T Conversion Kit and BP 4T IMPCO Conversion Kit, built around an IMPCO carburetor, round out the selection for technicians standardizing on proven IMPCO and Universal brand components. Every kit is designed to convert a gasoline engine to run on liquid propane gas, also known as LPG or autogas, and installation should always follow OSHA and NFPA standards for propane fuel systems.
Cleaner Burning Propane Kits Backed by Fast Fulfillment and Real Support
Propane burns cleaner than gasoline, and forklifts running on propane produce roughly 20 percent less carbon monoxide while holding consistent power output until the tank runs dry, an advantage carbureted gasoline setups lose as fuel burns down. Helmar Parts ships most in stock orders the same day, and orders placed after 4:00pm EST go out the next business day, so a shop converting a fleet isn't stuck waiting on parts.
