Used Clark Propane Forklift El Monte

Power
Many forklifts are designed to run on propane gas. Forklifts which use propane are really simple to refill. The gas is stored in a pressurized tank on the back of the truck. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and then the vapor mixes with air. The forklift throttle is utilized to control the vapor flow. A spark plug ignites the mixture of air and vapor creating pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Propane powered forklifts are recommended for use within warehouses and other buildings since they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what allows it to lift and move very heavy stuff 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 lifts the forks. When the operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.

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