Used Clark Propane Forklift Salinas
Power
Many forklifts are designed to run on propane gas. Forklifts which use propane are 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 then the vapor combines with air. The forklift throttle is utilized to control the vapor flow. A spark plug fires up the vapor and air mixture creating pressure that makes the pistons move. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.
Forklifts that utilize propane are recommended for use within other buildings and warehouses because they are clean burning with low emissions.
Hydraulics
What enables a forklift to lift and transport heavy stuff from one location to another is the hydraulic system. Cylinders, a pump and tubes make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid in the tubing and into the cylinders. The pressure build up pushes a piston, that 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 necessary. Not like an automobile, a forklift makes use of its rear wheels to pivot, which allows the forklift to rapidly pivot on a tight radius.
