The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outside or indoor environments. This particular equipment 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 offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to provide 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 equipment to be utilized for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for instance, if you require more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely need an internal combustion engine.
The IC forklift could be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals want their equipment based on existing machines and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to go with diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion lift trucks provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can simply be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift could continue to function in no time. These units are cheaper to purchase initially than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck would stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push loads rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this could really be a big advantage.
