That happen to me once and I was promptly wrote up for failure to follow company forklift operating procedures.
I failed to check the propane tank fuel gauge periodically and I ran out of propane.hock: The reason the company was strict is it took the maintenance shop about 20 minutes to change tanks and if planed right one could get a extended break,lunch or a 30 minute break before quitting time-we was allowed 10 minutes to do the required daily work sheet that covered the work we did as a example 7:15AM to 7:50 AM unloaded Landstar trailer 53431- I ran out 3 hours before quitting time and a hour after lunch break.
The same rules applied to those junky battery powered lifts.
We used to mess with those guys and turn off the propane.
