The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides greater horsepower and torque ideal for a range of tough outdoor or inside environments. This particular machinery could keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be powered 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 offer great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Similar to the automobile engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machinery to be used for outdoor applications. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for example, if you require over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely need an IC engine.
IC lift trucks operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Normally, the operating costs are usually highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their machinery based on existing vehicles and machinery on hand. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really makes sense to use diesel forklifts also.
IC forklifts provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can easily be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper to buy initially than electric forklifts but actually cost a lot more per hour to operate.
Also, internal combustion forklifts stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this could be a big advantage.
