Clark Propane Forklift El Paso

Power

Numerous forklifts are designed to operate on propane gas. Forklifts that use propane are very 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 forklift throttle is used to be able to control the flow of vapor. A spark plug fires up the vapor and air mixture creating pressure which makes the pistons move. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.



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 lift 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 through the tubing and into the cylinders. The build up of pressure pushes a piston, which 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 necessary. Not like a car, a forklift makes use of its rear wheels to pivot, that allows the forklift to turn quickly on a tight radius.
