The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC forklift provides more torque and horsepower ideal for a range of tough outside or inside settings. This machinery could keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to offer reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor applications as electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for instance, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly need an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be powered by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating expenses are typically the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their machinery based on existing vehicles and machines available. Like for example, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly makes sense to go with diesel lift trucks too.
IC forklifts provide 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 is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric forklifts but really cost a lot more per hour to operate.
Furthermore, IC forklifts stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lift trucks. Specifically, these machines are used to tow or push cargo as opposed to driving and lifting. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor applications, this can truly be a big advantage.
