The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outdoor or indoor settings. This particular machinery is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II can be powered by Liquid Propane, Gas, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to provide great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common choice for outdoor use since electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. For instance, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely need an IC engine.
Internal combustion forklifts run on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of people want their machine based on existing vehicles and machinery available. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to go with diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion lift trucks provide a big 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 forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to operate.
The IC forklift could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor applications, this could be a huge advantage.
