Calor
12kg Automotive Gas
From: £45.00
The Calor 12kg forklift gas cylinder is the medium FLT bottle most small and mid-size fleets settle on. It runs your LPG forklift trucks cleaner than diesel, with far less fume and odour drifting around the warehouse or yard. At roughly 58cm tall and 30cm across, it’s an easy size for operators to lift, change over and strap back in, and it still holds enough gas to get through a normal shift without constant swaps.
It suits forklifts in warehouses, depots and yards, indoors and outdoors where the space is properly ventilated. If you run a busier site and want longer between changes, the 18kg automotive bottle is the bigger sibling.
We supply it as a refill on a like-for-like exchange, so you’ll need an empty 12kg automotive Calor bottle to swap on delivery. No empty to hand yet? Add a Calor cylinder deposit when you order. We deliver across our defined Reading delivery area for a small fixed fee, so check your postcode is covered first, or call us on 0118 9242888 to sort it out.
Please note that if you cannot exchange an empty cylinder on a like-for-like basis then you must purchase a cylinder deposit.

Keep your forklift fleet moving with the Calor 12kg forklift gas cylinder, supplied and delivered across the Reading area by Harringtons. It’s an automotive (FLT) propane bottle built for the daily grind of material handling, and it gives you a cleaner, more efficient burn than diesel. That means less fume and odour around the warehouse, which matters most where trucks run indoors.
The cylinder stands around 58cm high and 30cm in diameter. That’s a sensible middle size: big enough to last a normal shift, small enough that a trained operator can change it over and secure it without a struggle. For small and medium fleets it usually hits the sweet spot, holding plenty of fuel without the weight of the larger 18kg bottle.
Typical users are forklifts in warehouses, depots and logistics yards, working indoors and outdoors where the area is properly ventilated. It’s a straightforward, dependable choice for general material handling rather than anything specialised.
Refills work on a like-for-like exchange. You’ll need an empty 12kg automotive Calor cylinder ready to swap on delivery, and if you don’t have one, add a Calor cylinder deposit to your order so we can get you started. Fitting, connection and ventilation should follow Calor’s own guidance or your Gas Safe engineer; we won’t second-guess your setup here.
Delivery is to our defined postcode area around Reading, charged at a small fixed fee, so it’s worth checking your postcode is covered before you order. For trade accounts, first orders or anything you’re unsure about, call the yard on 0118 9242888 and we’ll talk it through.
