Keeping Events Moving with Propane-Powered Forklifts
Freeman, a global leader in event production with over 95 years of experience, knows that reliable and efficient material-handling equipment is critical to running successful shows. From trade shows and exhibitions to VIP experiences, Freeman relies on Ted Johnson Propane to deliver the fuel that keeps its forklift fleet running strong.
"Propane is vital for our industry at this point. We could not do shows without propane. It’s imperative to have propane in our business."
- Ron Brown, Senior Vice President of Delivery and Brand Experience, Freeman
Why Freeman Chooses Propane Over Electric Forklifts
Freeman depends on forklifts to keep its events running on time, from moving heavy materials on the show floor to supporting large-scale build outs and tear downs. Choosing propane over electric has given their team the consistent performance, speed, and flexibility needed to meet tight schedules without interruption.
100% Power, All Shift Long
Freeman’s forklifts run up to 14 hours per day. With propane, each cylinder powers a forklift for an entire eight-hour shift without losing performance. In contrast, electric models lose power as the battery drains, slowing productivity.
Fast, Convenient Refueling
Propane cylinders are safely stored near event venues and quickly swapped out in minutes. With Ted Johnson Propane ensuring daily refills, Freeman avoids costly downtime. Electric forklifts would require dedicated charging stations, larger fleets for rotation, and higher electricity bills.
Cost Savings
Freeman saves an average of 30% when purchasing propane forklifts compared to electric models. Lower upfront costs, coupled with lower infrastructure and energy expenses, make propane a smart financial decision.
Cleaner and More Sustainable
While often seen as the “greener” choice, electric forklifts actually carry a larger carbon footprint when lifecycle emissions are considered. Manufacturing, transporting, and disposing of large batteries, combined with electricity that often comes from coal-fired plants, makes propane the cleaner and more sustainable choice.
Looking Ahead With Renewable Propane
Ted Johnson Propane is leading the way by also offering renewable propane, a fuel made from sustainable resources such as plant oils, animal fats, and other renewable feedstocks. Renewable propane delivers the same performance and reliability as conventional propane, while further reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting long-term sustainability goals.
For companies in aerospace, events, manufacturing, and logistics, renewable propane provides a practical way to lower carbon impact without compromising productivity. By partnering with Ted Johnson Propane, businesses can move toward a cleaner energy future while still enjoying the dependable power they need today.
Together, these advantages show why propane is the fuel of choice for Freeman’s forklift fleet. With reliable power, quick refueling, lower emissions, and significant cost savings, propane provides the balance of performance and value that national event leaders require. Supported by Ted Johnson Propane’s dependable service, Freeman has the confidence to deliver seamless events for its customers every time.
