Most normally, internal combustion or IC lift trucks are used for indoor applications such as: manufacturing, trucking, bottling and warehousing, among other things. These units ride on cushion tires that are solid rubber tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could function either by diesel, Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG or Dual fuel. The dual fuel units run with both gasoline and LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. These machinery could function on either fuel but not simultaneously. Internal combustion engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine could power the truck, the hydraulics and all functions of the truck.
Nissan's forklift Platinum II models and the GO4 Series have lifting capacities from 3000 to 11,000 lbs. They come in units powered by LPG or dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline engines. The CARB certification on these specific engines enables the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications like CARB, help many employers offer cleaner and thus safer working environments for their workers.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations provide optimal engine operation which will help to decrease exhaust emissions and provide incredible fuel economy at the same time. Each Platinum II fork truck is standard outfitted with their compressive engine protection system in place so as to warn operators in the event of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This particular system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment functioning at its optimum ability.
The dual fuel units are making a splash within the business since many companies are trying to be as "green" as possible and as environmentally efficient and friendly as they can. It's also a good idea to lease the machinery for a while to see if you like the way it handles prior to making a huge investment. There are numerous options within the industry nowadays and with some research, you can pick the best model for your certain use.
