Harvest puts every part of a winery operation to the test. Production hours stretch longer, forklifts stay busy, and equipment that may only run occasionally during the year suddenly becomes essential.
That makes reliable fuel supply especially important during crush.
Keeping Harvest Moving
Propane supports a range of winery and vineyard applications, including forklifts, heating, backup power and other agricultural equipment. For operations that rely on propane during harvest, planning ahead can help prevent disruptions when activity peaks.
Before crush ramps up, wineries should consider:
Reviewing expected fuel usage as production hours increase.
Adjusting delivery schedules to account for higher seasonal demand.
Checking tanks, cylinders and equipment before they’re needed every day.
Planning for outages with backup power for critical operations.
Keeping delivery areas accessible as winery yards become busier.
Suburban Propane offers bulk propane delivery, cylinder services, tank options and customized delivery schedules for agricultural and commercial customers, along with 24/7/365 customer support.
During a season when timing matters, making sure your fuel supply is ready before harvest begins is one less thing to worry about once the fruit starts coming in.
