The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outside or inside environments. This equipment is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II could be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Diesel or Dual Fuel with Gas/LP. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to offer less exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor applications as electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Moreover, only IC forklifts are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating costs are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machinery based on existing machinery and vehicles available. Like for example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really makes sense to go with diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC lift truck provides a big drawback: they could simply 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 units are less expensive to buy initially than electric forklifts but really cost a lot more per hour to operate.
Additionally, IC forklifts stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric lift trucks. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor applications, this could truly be a big advantage.
