Used Clark Propane Forklift Santa Rosa

Power
There are many types of forklifts which are powered by propane gas. Forklifts that utilize propane are simple to refill. The gas is stored inside 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 combines with air. The throttle of the forklift is used to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the vapor and air mixture creating pressure which moves the pistons. The pistons turn the wheels and run the hydraulic pump.

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

Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to lift and transport heavy stuff from one location to another is the hydraulic system. 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 forks are lowered by the operator, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back in the pump.

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