Used Clark Propane Forklift Lancaster

Power
Many forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are easy to refill. The gas is stored inside 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 throttle of the forklift is used to control the flow of vapor. 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.

Since the kinds of forklifts that are powered by propane have low emissions and are clean burning, they are best to be utilized inside other buildings and warehouses.

Hydraulics
The hydraulic system of the forklift is what allows it to lift and move really heavy things from place to place. A pump, tubes and cylinders make up the hydraulic system. The pump forces dense fluid in the tubing and into the cylinders. The build up of pressure pushes a piston, which 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 needed. Unlike a car, a forklift makes use of its rear wheels to pivot, which allows the forklift to pivot fast on a tight radius.
