The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift offers more torque and horsepower ideal for a range of tough outside or inside settings. This machine can keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common alternative for outdoor applications since electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for instance, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion forklifts operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their equipment based on existing vehicles and machinery available. Like for instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to use diesel lift trucks as well.
Internal combustion forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift could continue to operate in no time. These models are cheaper initially to buy than electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to operate.
Moreover, IC lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these machinery are used to tow or push cargo rather than driving and lifting. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor applications, this can truly be a huge advantage.
