The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides more torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outdoor or indoor settings. This machine has the ability to keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could 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 so as to provide great fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These units are the most common choice for outdoor applications since electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. For instance, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be run by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are typically the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and equipment on hand. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to use diesel lift trucks too.
Internal combustion lift trucks provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but really cost a lot more per hour to run.
The internal combustion lift truck will stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these machinery are used to push or tow cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor operation, this can be a huge advantage.
