Used Clark IC Forklifts Elk Grove

The History of the Gas Forklift
In the early part of the 20th century, the Clark Equipment company made the first gas powered forklift. Clark has led the business in gas-powered forklifts since that time.

Beginning
Situated within Buchanan, State of Michigan, the Clark Equipment Company was the manufacturer of the first Tructractor in 1917. Workers made the tractor to make it easier to move components within the plant. When visitors came to the plant and saw the machinery, they asked Clark to make more. The next year Clark sold eight Tructractors, and the year after that Clark started the Clark Tructractor Company within Buchanan, selling 75 of the machinery that very same year.

Duat
In nineteen twenty three Clark made a gas-powered tow tractor. Referred to as the "Duat," this three-wheeled equipment later developed into the modern gas-powered forklift.

Improved Models
In nineteen twenty seven the Clarktor was developed, a gas-powered tow tractor with four wheels that can draw up to 5,500 kilograms. In the year 1928 the Tructier model was manufactured. It became the basis for a modern line of gas-powered forklifts.

Forklifts which run on diesel, gasoline, liquid propane or liquid natural gas have internal combustion engines. These type of forklifts should be refueled either at on-site fueling stations or with gas canisters. Internal combustion forklifts cost less to buy, but a lot more to operate due to the fuel cost. For loads more than 6,800 kilograms, an internal combustion forklift is recommended.
