The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift offers more horsepower and torque suitable for a range of tough outdoor or inside environments. This particular equipment could keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could be powered by Gas, Liquid Propane, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to provide reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Similar to the automobile engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be utilized for outdoor applications. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for example, if you need more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would certainly need an internal combustion engine.
IC forklifts operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people choose their machine based on existing machines and vehicles available. Like for example, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it truly is practical to use diesel forklifts as well.
Internal combustion forklifts offer a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could simply be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift can continue to work in no time. These models are cheaper initially to purchase than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to operate.
The IC lift truck would stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor applications, this could be a big advantage.
