Used Clark Propane Forklift Elk Grove
Power
There are many kinds of forklifts that are operated by propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are simple to refill. The gas is stored inside a pressurized tank on the back 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 utilized to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the mix of vapor and air creating pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons turn the wheels and run the hydraulic pump.
As the kinds of forklifts which are operated by propane are clean burning and have low emissions, they are best to be used inside warehouses and other buildings.
Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what enables it to lift and move really heavy objects from location to location. Cylinders, a pump and tubes 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, that 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. Unlike an automobile, a forklift makes use of its back wheels to turn, that allows the forklift to pivot quickly on a tight radius.
