Used Clark Propane Forklift Berkeley

Power
Many forklifts are made to operate on propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are really easy 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 afterward the vapor combines with air. The forklift throttle is used to be able to control the vapor flow. 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 because they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what enables it to lift and move really heavy objects from location to location. 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 operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back in the pump.

Steering
Where maneuverability is required, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Unlike a car, a forklift uses its rear wheels to pivot, which allows the forklift to quickly turn on a tight radius.
