The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives greater horsepower and torque suitable for many tough outdoor or indoor environments. This machine is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II could be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to provide reduced exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor use since electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. In addition, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. For example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely need an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be powered by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are usually the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of individuals choose their equipment based on existing machinery and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to utilize diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck can stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor applications, this could be a huge advantage.
