The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC lift truck provides greater torque and horsepower suitable for a variety of tough outdoor or inside settings. This machine could keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be powered by Liquid Propane, Gas, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common alternative for outdoor use since electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift can be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are typically the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of people want their machinery based on existing vehicles and machines available. For example, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it truly is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks as well.
Internal combustion forklifts offer a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift can continue to work in no time. These units are cheaper to buy initially than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to operate.
As well, IC lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lift trucks. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to push or tow cargo rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this could be a huge advantage.
