Used Clark Propane Forklift Fontana

Power
Many forklifts are designed to operate on propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are really simple 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 throttle of the forklift is used to be able to control the vapor flow. A spark plug ignites the air and vapor mixture producing pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons turn the wheels and run the hydraulic pump.

Forklifts that utilize propane are recommended for use in warehouses and other buildings because they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to raise and transport heavy objects from one location to another is the hydraulic system. A pump, tubes and cylinders make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid through 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 into the pump.

Steering
Propane forklifts work well where maneuverability is necessary. Not like a car, a forklift makes use of its rear wheels to pivot, which allows the forklift to quickly turn on a tight radius.
