Our Cylinder Exchange Program offers your company many significant benefits:

Your employees will be more productive. A ten-minute task refilling a cylinder can easily turn into a half-hour or more non-productive break. Most on-site filling is done using the gravity or “drift fill” method, which is a time-consuming process. One area plant manager noted, “When my guys went out to refill, they’d disappear for twenty minutes or more. I started to multiply my eight drivers times 20 or 30 minutes lost per person each day, and the savings of cylinder exchange started to make sense.”

Your operation will be safer. With the Meridian Propane Cylinder Exchange Program, there will be no discharge of propane at your facility, eliminating the filling process and the attendant risk of an accident at the filling site. The filling of propane cylinders, their proper maintenance, and documentation is covered by a number of regulations, including NFPA’s Pamphlet 58 and DOT Code of Federal Regulations 49. Many companies find it difficult to monitor and comply with these ever-changing regulations.

Our aluminum cylinders do not have the interior rust and scaling problems common to steel cylinders. This dislodged scaling will clog the carburetors of an otherwise properly tuned forklift, lowering fuel economy and raising maintenance costs.

We hope you, like many other area companies, will conclude that the our Propane Cylinder Exchange is your best alternative for forklift refueling. With safety regulations and the cost of insurance quickly becoming major obstacles in all businesses, we can help you combat escalating operating costs. If you’d like more information, or if we can assist you with any other part of your forklift refueling or general propane needs, please contact us.
