Forklift LPG cylinder brackets
Gas bottle brackets for 11 kg forklift cylinders, made in our own workshop near Kraków: fixed and tilting models, twin brackets with hoses and ball valves, special versions to your drawing. We supply dealers, forklift service companies and fleet operators across Europe.
Prices from EUR 105 net ex works. Volume prices for dealers on request.
Volume prices, reliable lead times, brackets in your colour. We have supplied the forklift parts trade since 1995 - in Poland and, through partners, in Germany.
Replacements for bent or rusted brackets, also for older trucks. Give us the truck type and year and we will confirm the matching model.
Brackets for whole fleets or as original equipment: your bolt pattern, your colour, your quantity. Twin brackets for sites where the truck cannot afford to stop.
Our brackets
OPUS-1
Our newest model. The bracket lowers for the cylinder change - no lifting effort, thanks to a gas spring.
S-1
Fixed bracket with a single latch for large and small forklifts where the engine cover does not collide with the cylinder.
S-2 fixed
Fixed bracket for large and small forklifts with no clash between the engine cover and the cylinder.
S-6 fixed, twin cylinder
Fixed twin bracket: two cylinders along the truck, with connecting hoses and ball valves.
U-1 tilting
Tilting bracket for forklifts with a very narrow counterweight, where the engine cover collides with the cylinder during service.
U-2 tilting
Tilting bracket for narrow counterweights - our standard model in the spare parts trade.
U-5 tilting, twin cylinder
Tilting twin bracket: two cylinders stacked, tilts backwards.
U-5 in tilted position
The same U-5 tilted backwards - this is what it looks like during engine service or a cylinder change.
Latch for the U series
Spare part for all tilting Orfemet brackets of the U series.
Two cylinders, one truck: less downtime
On the S-6 and U-5 twin brackets both cylinders are connected to the system through hoses and ball valves. The driver runs the first cylinder empty, opens the valve on the second and carries on. The empty cylinder is swapped when it suits the workflow - not in the middle of a shift.
That means more gas on board and fewer trips to the cylinder store. For multi-shift operations this is the strongest argument for a twin bracket.

Orfemet - forklift cylinder brackets since 1995
Orfemet is a family business in Modlnica near Kraków, founded in 1991. We made our first LPG cylinder brackets in 1995 and have produced them without a break since then. Many thousands of brackets from our workshop are in use today on forklifts in Poland and in other European countries.
Besides the brackets we fabricate steel structures and trade in industrial gases. The brackets remain the product we have been making the longest - and know best.

Frequently asked questions
Will the bracket fit my forklift?
Most models are designed for the 11 kg European forklift LPG cylinder and fit common trucks from Toyota, Linde, Still, Jungheinrich, Hyster and Zeppelin. What matters is the bolt pattern and the space on the counterweight. Send us the truck type, year and a photo of the counterweight - we will confirm the right model.
Do you sell single brackets to end users?
We are the manufacturer and mainly supply dealers, forklift service companies and fleet operators. Single brackets are available from our trade partners. If you cannot find one, write to us - we will point you to a supplier.
Do you offer trade prices and volume discounts?
Yes. Our brackets start at EUR 105 net ex works (standard version, single unit). The dealer price list gives prices for all models in EUR, volume tiers, minimum quantities and lead times - request it via the form.
Can you send a sample?
Yes. Dealers and workshops can get a sample before the first order to check it on a truck. Tell us the model and the forklift type and we will send you the terms.
Do you make brackets to our drawing?
Yes. Special versions - a different cylinder diameter, twin brackets across or along the truck, swing-out brackets, your colour - are made from small quantities. Send us a sketch or a photo of the installation.
Are the brackets suitable for US-style 33 lb tanks?
No. Our brackets are built for the 11 kg European forklift cylinder. The US 33 lb tank has a different diameter and mounting, so it needs a different bracket.
Looking for a bracket for a particular truck? Give us the type and year - we will confirm the matching model and the lead time.
