Clark Propane Forklift Utah

Power
There are numerous types of forklifts that are operated by propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are easy to refill. The gas is stored inside a pressurized tank on the rear of the truck. The propane is pushed into the engine, where it is converted into vapor and then the vapor mixes with air. The throttle of the forklift is utilized to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug ignites the vapor and air mixture producing pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Propane powered forklifts are recommended for use within warehouses and other buildings 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. 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 operator lowers the forks, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.

Steering
Where maneuverability is necessary, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Unlike an automobile, a forklift utilizes its rear wheels to pivot, that allows the forklift to quickly pivot on a tight radius.
