The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC lift truck offers greater horsepower and torque ideal for a range of tough outdoor or inside settings. This machinery could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be run by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common choice for outdoor applications as electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Furthermore, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For instance, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion forklifts work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their equipment based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. For example, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it truly makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion forklift offers a big disadvantage: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck could continue to function in no time. These models are cheaper initially to purchase compared to electric forklifts but really cost more per hour to operate.
The IC lift truck would stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these machines are used to push or tow loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. In outdoor applications, this can really be a big advantage.
