Used Clark Propane Forklift Downey

Power
Many forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Forklifts that use propane are really 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 the vapor combines with air. The forklift throttle is used to be able to control the vapor flow. A spark plug ignites the air and vapor mixture creating pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons turn the wheels and power the hydraulic pump.

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

Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to raise and move heavy objects from one place to another is the hydraulic system. A pump, tubes and cylinders 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, which 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
Where maneuverability is necessary, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Unlike an automobile, a forklift uses its back wheels to pivot, that enables the forklift to pivot quickly on a tight radius.
