Used Clark Propane Forklift Fairfield

Power
There are many types of forklifts which are powered by propane gas. Forklifts which utilize propane are easy to refill. The gas is stored in a pressurized tank on the rear of the truck. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and the vapor mixes with air. The throttle of the forklift is used to be able to control the vapor flow. A spark plug fires up the vapor and air mixture producing pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons turn the wheels and run the hydraulic pump.

As the kinds of forklifts that are powered by propane are clean burning and have low emissions, they are suitable to be utilized inside warehouses and other buildings.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what enables it to raise and transport really heavy stuff from place to place. Tubes, cylinders and a pump make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid through the tubing and into the cylinders. The pressure build up pushes a piston, which raises the forks. When the operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.

Steering
Where maneuverability is needed, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Unlike a car, a forklift uses its rear wheels to turn, that allows the forklift to pivot fast on a tight radius.
