The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more torque and horsepower suitable for numerous tough outside or inside settings. This particular machinery is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like car engines. These units are the most common alternative for outdoor applications since electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for instance, if you require over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly need an IC engine.
Internal combustion forklifts operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many people choose their machinery based on existing vehicles and machinery available. Like for example, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it really makes sense to use diesel lift trucks too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC forklift provides a huge disadvantage: they could easily be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These models are less expensive initially to buy than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to run.
The internal combustion lift truck would stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these equipment are used to push or tow cargo rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor operation, this could be a huge advantage.
