Used Clark Propane Forklift Santa Maria
Power
There are numerous types of forklifts that are operated by propane gas. Forklifts that utilize propane are really easy to refill. The gas is stored in a pressurized tank on the rear of the truck. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and the vapor mixes with air. The throttle of the forklift is utilized to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug ignites the mixture of vapor and air creating pressure which moves the pistons. The pistons run the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.
Since the types of forklifts which are powered by propane have low emissions and are clean burning, they are best to be utilized in warehouses and other buildings.
Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to lift and move heavy things from one place to another is the hydraulic system. 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, that raises the forks. When the forks are lowered by the operator, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back in the pump.
Steering
Propane forklifts work well where maneuverability is necessary. Unlike an automobile, a forklift makes use of its rear wheels to turn, that enables the forklift to pivot quickly on a tight radius.
