Clark Propane Forklift Houston

Power

Numerous forklifts are made to run on propane gas. Forklifts which 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 vapor flow. A spark plug ignites the mix of vapor and air producing pressure that moves the pistons. The pistons power the hydraulic pump and turn the wheels.



Because the types of forklifts that are powered by propane are clean burning and have low emissions, they are suitable to be utilized in warehouses and other buildings.



Hydraulics

The forklift's hydraulic system is what enables it to lift and move very heavy things from location to location. Cylinders, a pump and tubes 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 lifts the forks. When the forks are lowered by the operator, the hydraulic fluid flows out of the cylinders and back into the pump.



Steering

Where maneuverability is necessary, propane forklifts are the most suitable. Not like a car, a forklift uses its back wheels to turn, that enables the forklift to rapidly turn on a tight radius.
