The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides more horsepower and torque ideal for a range of tough outdoor or indoor environments. This particular machinery could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II can be powered by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Similar to the car engine, the IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be utilized for outdoor operations. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the largest loads. For instance, if you need more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely 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 expenses are usually the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals choose their machinery based on existing vehicles and equipment available. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck offers a huge disadvantage: they can simply be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These models are cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric forklifts but actually cost much more per hour to run.
As well, internal combustion forklifts stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to push or tow loads rather than lifting and driving. Generally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor use, this can be a huge advantage.
