Used Clark Propane Forklift Concord
Power
There are numerous 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 truck's rear. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and then the vapor combines with air. The forklift throttle is used to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the vapor and air mixture producing pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.
Forklifts that utilize propane are suggested for use in warehouses and other buildings since they are clean burning with low emissions.
Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to lift and move heavy objects from one place 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 pressure build up pushes a piston, which lifts 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 utilizes its back wheels to pivot, that enables the forklift to pivot quickly on a tight radius.
