The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine forklift gives more horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outside or indoor settings. This particular machinery is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II could be run by Liquid Propane, Gas, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to provide excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Like the automobile engine, the internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be used for outdoor applications. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for instance, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely need an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be run by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are usually the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals choose their machine based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really is practical to use diesel forklifts as well.
Internal combustion forklifts 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 can continue to operate in no time. These units are cheaper to purchase initially than electric forklifts but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
Additionally, IC lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to tow or push cargo rather than driving and lifting. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor use, this could be a huge advantage.
