Used Clark IC Forklifts Roseville

The History of the Gas Forklift
The Clark Equipment Company manufactured the very first gas powered forklift in the early 20th century. Since that time, Clark has led the business in gas-powered forklifts.

Beginning
In the year 1917, the Clark Equipment Company, located within Buchanan, Michigan, was the maker of the very first Tructractor. Workers made the tractor to make it easier to move components within the plant. When visitors came to the plant and saw the machinery, they asked Clark to build more. The following year Clark sold eight Tructractors, and the year after that Clark began the Clark Tructractor Company in Buchanan, selling seventy five of the machines that year.

Duat
Clark made a gas-powered tow tractor in the year 1923. Known as the "Duat," this three-wheeled equipment later developed into the modern gas-powered forklift.

Improved Models
A gas-powered tow tractor with four wheels and can draw up to 5,500 kilograms, the Clarktor was developed during the year 1927. In 1928 the Tructier model was built. It became the foundation for a modern line of gas-powered forklifts.

Forklifts which have internal combustion engines can function using liquid propane, liquid natural gas, diesel or gasoline. These kind of forklifts must be refueled either with gas canisters or at on-site fueling stations. Internal combustion forklifts cost much less to buy, but a lot more to operate due to the fuel cost. For loads which are more than 6,800 kilograms, an internal combustion forklift is suggested.
