The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC forklift provides more torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outdoor or inside environments. This particular machine could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Like the automobile engine, the internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machinery to be utilized for outdoor applications. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion forklifts run on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Normally, the operating expenses are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many people want their equipment based on existing machinery and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it really is practical to use diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC forklift offers a big drawback: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper to buy initially than electric forklifts but really cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push loads rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this could truly be a huge advantage.
