Used Clark Propane Forklift San Bernardino

Power
Many forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are simple to refill. The gas is stored in a pressurized tank on the truck's back. 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 control the vapor flow. A spark plug fires up the air and vapor mixture creating pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons run the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

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

Hydraulics
What enables a forklift to raise and transport heavy objects from one location to another is the hydraulic system. Tubes, cylinders and a pump make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid in the tubing and into the cylinders. The build up of pressure pushes a piston, which lifts the forks. When the operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back in the pump.

Steering
Propane forklifts work well where maneuverability is needed. Not like a car, a forklift utilizes its rear wheels to pivot, that allows the forklift to quickly turn on a tight radius.
