Used Clark IC Forklifts Vallejo

The History of the Gas Forklift
The Clark Equipment Company made the very first gas powered forklift in the early 20th century. Clark has led the industry in gas-powered forklifts since that time.

Beginning
Located within Buchanan, Michigan, the Clark Equipment Company was the manufacturer of the very first Tructractor during the year 1917. Employees fabricated the tractor to make it easier to transport components in the plant. When visitors came to the plant and saw the machine, they asked Clark to build more. The next year Clark sold eight Tructractors, and the year after that Clark started the Clark Tructractor Company in Buchanan, selling seventy five of the equipment that year.

Duat
In the year 1923 Clark made a gas-powered tow tractor. Named the "Duat," this three-wheeled machine later developed into the modern gas-powered forklift.

Improved Models
During nineteen twenty seven the Clarktor was developed, a gas-powered tow tractor with four wheels that could draw up to 5,500 kilograms. During the year 1928 the Tructier model was manufactured. It became the basis for a modern line of gas-powered forklifts.

Forklifts that function on gasoline, diesel, liquid natural gas or liquid propane have internal combustion engines. These kind of forklifts need to be refueled either at on-site fueling stations or with gas canisters. Internal combustion forklifts cost much less to buy, but more to operate because of the cost of fuel. For loads over 6,800 kilograms, an internal combustion forklift is suggested.
