Posted By Michelle Wilson We have a small warehouse and operate an LPG counterbalance truck. There is no external area available for cylinder storage (and no prospect of battery operated truck!). I think I'm correct that we can store small quantities of cylinders (in this case 2 x20kg max) within the warehouse, but I'd appreciate if someone can confirm this. The area is well ventilated and smoking is not permitted on site. Thanks in advance

Posted By Michelle Wilson Outside wall is in a covered,communal area (mall type location)utilised by vehicles, so difficult to site where it would be safe from impact - hence preference to store inside.

Posted By Scott d Hi Michelle, If you definately cannot store this material externally then you may store small amounts (up to 50kg I think) within the building, however, you should store it within a room used for the storage of gas cylinders only. You need to consider, among other things, the locality of electrical equipment which could ignite any leakage of gas and ensure there is no possibility of the FLT crashing into the gas cylinders. BOC have an excellent website that you will find if you put in a search for boc industrial. If you call them, they will also be more than happy to give you some advice with this. I called them recently and they came out and had a look around our site and made various recommendations. Hope this helps, Scott
