Pico’s commercial Propane Services Can Help Your Business Thrive
In a challenging economic climate, it’s getting harder and harder to manage costs while maintaining the quality and service your customers expect. That’s why you should know all the ways commercial propane can help your business.
You may know that propane is an efficient, versatile and clean-burning fuel, but you may not think propane has applications for your business. Let Pico show you how you can make the most of propane across three broad-reaching industries—and many more. We’ll prove that commercial propane can help you provide value to your customers without hurting your bottom line.
Agricultural Propane Supply and Services
Propane is a vital element keeping farms running smoothly and cost-effectively.
- Propane is efficient for heating, and provides consistent heat ideal for warming livestock barns, hatcheries and greenhouses.
- Clean-burning propane can power much of your landscaping and agricultural equipment, from commercial mowers to irrigation engines.
- Propane flame weeders deliver effective, organic weed control.
- Propane is an ideal fuel for crop drying.
Forklifts & Industrial Needs
Propane fueled forklifts will keep your warehouse, construction, or industrial facilities running smoothly with less downtime.
- Propane-fueled forklifts can be used outdoors in wet conditions, unlike electric-powered forklifts.
- Propane-powered forklifts will operate at 100% power as long as there’s propane in the cylinder. An electric forklift loses power as the battery drains.
- Refueling is quick and easy with replaceable cylinders and our convenient cylinder exchange service. Recharging an electric forklift takes equipment out of service for hours, slowing down operations.
- Propane-powered forklifts also handle heavy loads better and are more capable when it comes to inclines.
- Propane puts less wear on equipment, keeping it out of the shop and keeping your operations running smoothly.
In addition to forklifts, propane can be used to power a wide range of equipment, including welding equipment, asphalt heaters, concrete grinders, saws, polishers, trowels, and dust extractors, pressure washers, small cranes, water pumps, floor buffers and more.
Hospitality & Food Service
In the hospitality business, great customer service is paramount. Behind the scenes, propane can help ensure you deliver a quality experience, far beyond the kitchen, and help your resort, country club, hotel, and more earn great reviews and repeat business.
- Professional chefs prefer gas for cooking.
- Hotels, hospitals, nursing facilities all benefit from propane for cooking, water heating and space heating, as well as for industrial washers and clothes dryers, just to name a few.
- Food trucks use propane to power mobile kitchens.
- Resorts and country clubs use propane for everything from commercial kitchens to groundskeeping equipment.
- Restaurants and hotels use propane for cooking as well as outdoor space heaters and firepits.
Benefits of Propane
In addition to its versatility, propane is efficient, ecofriendly and safe. Customers are paying more attention to environmental choices all along the supply chain. When it comes to environmental impact, propane gas is a good choice.
Compared to other heating fuels, including electricity, propane heats quickly and burns cleanly, and leaves a smaller carbon footprint. Propane costs on average 2.5 times less per Btu than heating with electricity, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
Propane is extremely safe: It is nontoxic and can’t harm soil or groundwater, and propane has a very narrow range of flammability.
