The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck offers more horsepower and torque ideal for a range of tough outside or inside settings. This machinery could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be run 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 so as to provide excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to automobile 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 IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for example, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will certainly need an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift can be run by liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating expenses are usually the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their machinery based on existing equipment and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really is practical to use diesel forklifts also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC lift truck offers a huge drawback: they could simply be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper to buy initially compared to electric forklifts but really cost more per hour to operate.
The IC forklift could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow loads rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. In outdoor operation, this could be a big advantage.
