Used Clark IC Forklifts Berkeley

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

Beginning
In the year 1917, the Clark Equipment Company, located in Buchanan, Michigan State, was the producer of the first Tructractor. Workers made the tractor so as to make it easier to move components in the plant. When visitors came to the plant and saw the machinery, they asked Clark to manufacture 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 year.

Duat
In the year 1923 Clark made a gas-powered tow tractor. Named the "Duat," this three-wheeled machine later developed into the modern gas-powered forklift.

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

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