Propane Council Seminars to Highlight Mower Usage, Refueling Options for Contractors
Lawn and landscape contractors can learn from their peers about the advantages of using propane-fueled commercial lawn mowers, along with ease of refueling, in the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC) Propane Pavilion (booth number 11198).
Contractors from around the nation will discuss why they transitioned to propane-fueled mowers and selected the refueling approach that meets their unique needs: A propane cylinder exchange program, or a combination of cylinder exchange and on-site dispensing, with an on-site refueling infrastructure that includes a large tank and a no-spill dispenser. Those contractors, along with other green industry leaders, will explain how propane-fueled mowers provide cost savings, while meeting growing customer requests for environmentally friendly solutions.
Manufacturer representatives will speak about their propane-fueled mowers and the attributes that matter most to contractors and their customers. Multiple models of propane-fueled mowers also will be available for viewing in the Propane Pavilion, along with information on how a propane cylinder exchange program works.
Visit www.poweredbypropane.org prior to GIE+EXPO 2011 or the PERC Propane Pavilion for a full seminar schedule.
