The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine forklift gives greater torque and horsepower suitable for numerous tough outside or inside settings. This particular machinery is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. 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 makes the most of engine operation so as to provide great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to automobile engines. These models are the most common option for outdoor applications as electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. In addition, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For instance, if you require over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are usually the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of people choose their equipment based on existing machinery and vehicles on hand. For example, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to use diesel lift trucks as well.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC forklift offers a big drawback: 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 initially to purchase compared to electric forklifts but actually cost much more per hour to operate.
In addition, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor operation, this could be a big advantage.
