The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives more horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outdoor or inside settings. This equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II can be run by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to offer excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Similar to the car engine, the internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines to be used for outdoor operations. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Furthermore, only IC forklifts are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for example, if you require over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely require an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating expenses are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their machine based on existing machines and vehicles available. Like for example, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it is practical to use diesel lift trucks as well.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck provides a huge disadvantage: they could simply be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift could continue to function in no time. These units are less expensive initially to buy than electric forklifts but really cost a lot more per hour to operate.
Furthermore, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor use, this could really be a huge advantage.
