Used Clark Propane Forklift San Diego

Power
Many forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Forklifts which use propane are easy to refill. The gas is stored inside 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 mixes with air. The throttle of the forklift is used to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the mixture of vapor and air producing pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons turn the wheels and run the hydraulic pump.

Forklifts that use propane are recommended for use within other buildings and warehouses since they are clean burning with low emissions.

Hydraulics
What allows a forklift to raise and transport heavy objects from one place to another is the hydraulic system. Cylinders, a pump and tubes 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 raises 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 required. Not like a car, a forklift utilizes its back wheels to turn, that allows the forklift to pivot fast on a tight radius.
