Used Clark Propane Forklift Antioch

Power
There are many types of forklifts that are powered by propane gas. Forklifts which utilize propane are easy to refill. The gas is stored inside a pressurized tank on the truck's rear. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and then the vapor combines with air. The throttle of the forklift is used to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug ignites the air and vapor mixture producing pressure which moves the pistons. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Forklifts that utilize propane are recommended for use in other buildings and warehouses because they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
The forklift's hydraulic system is what enables it to raise and transport very heavy objects from location to location. Tubes, cylinders and a pump make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid through the tubing and into the cylinders. The build up of pressure pushes a piston, that raises the forks. When the forks are lowered by the operator, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.

Steering
Propane forklifts work well where maneuverability is needed. Not like a car, a forklift makes use of its back wheels to pivot, which allows the forklift to quickly turn on a tight radius.
