Used Clark Propane Forklift Torrance

Power
Many forklifts are designed to run on propane gas. Forklifts that use propane are very 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 mixes with air. The forklift throttle is utilized to control the vapor flow. A spark plug fires up the mixture of vapor and air creating pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Because the types of forklifts that are powered by propane have low emissions and are clean burning, they are best to be used inside warehouses and other buildings.

Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to raise and move heavy objects from one location to another is the hydraulic system. Cylinders, a pump and tubes make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid through the tubing and into the cylinders. The pressure build up pushes a piston, which 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 required. Unlike a car, a forklift makes use of its back wheels to pivot, which enables the forklift to turn fast on a tight radius.
