The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outside or inside settings. This particular equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide less exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Like the car engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines to be used for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. In addition, only IC forklifts are able to handle the largest cargo. For instance, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely require an internal combustion engine.
The IC forklift can be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating expenses are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machinery based on existing machinery and vehicles on hand. Like for example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to go with diesel forklifts also.
IC forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to purchase than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion lift truck will stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor applications, this could really be a big advantage.
