The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives greater horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outdoor or inside settings. This particular machine is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. 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 so as to provide great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common alternative for outdoor use as electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Additionally, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. For instance, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an IC engine.
IC lift trucks run on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Normally, the operating expenses are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles on hand. Like for example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks too.
IC lift trucks offer a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These models are less expensive initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC forklift can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these equipment are used to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor applications, this can be a huge advantage.
