The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more torque and horsepower suitable for numerous tough outside or inside settings. This particular equipment is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II could be run by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Like the car engine, the internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines 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 loads. For instance, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an IC engine.
IC forklifts operate on liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their machinery based on existing machines and vehicles available. Like for example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: 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 cheaper initially to buy than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion lift truck could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to push or tow cargo as opposed to driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor applications, this could really be a huge advantage.
