The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque ideal for numerous tough outdoor or indoor environments. This particular machinery is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II can be powered by Liquid Propane, Gas, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Like the automobile engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines to be utilized for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. For example, if you need over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely require an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be powered 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. Numerous individuals choose their equipment based on existing vehicles and machinery on hand. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks too.
Internal combustion forklifts offer a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can easily be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper initially to buy than electric lift trucks but really cost much more per hour to operate.
The IC lift truck will stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these equipment are used to push or tow loads rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this can be a big advantage.
