Used Clark Propane Forklift San Jose

Power
Many forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Propane-powered forklifts are easy 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 forklift throttle is utilized to be able to control the vapor flow. A spark plug ignites the mix of vapor and air producing pressure which makes the pistons move. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.

Because the kinds of forklifts which are operated by propane have low emissions and are clean burning, they are best to be used within warehouses and other buildings.

Hydraulics
The forklift's hydraulic system is what enables it to lift and transport really heavy objects from location to location. 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, that raises the forks. When the forks are lowered by the operator, 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 back wheels to turn, that allows the forklift to quickly pivot on a tight radius.
