Clark Propane Forklift United States

Power
There are many kinds of forklifts that are powered by propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are easy to refill. The gas is stored in a pressurized tank on the truck's back. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and the vapor combines with air. The forklift throttle is used to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug ignites the mixture of air and vapor producing pressure which moves the pistons. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Propane powered forklifts are recommended for use inside warehouses and other buildings because they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what enables it to raise and transport very heavy stuff from location to location. A pump, tubes and cylinders make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid through the tubing and into the cylinders. The build up of pressure pushes a piston, which lifts the forks. When the operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.

Steering
Where maneuverability is required, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Unlike a car, a forklift utilizes its rear wheels to turn, that enables the forklift to rapidly turn on a tight radius.
