Used Clark Propane Forklift Salem

Power
There are many types of forklifts that are operated by propane gas. Forklifts which use propane are very simple 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 mixes with air. The forklift throttle is used to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the air and vapor mixture creating pressure which moves the pistons. The pistons turn the wheels and power the hydraulic pump.

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

Hydraulics
What enables a forklift to raise and move 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 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 into the pump.

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