The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outdoor or inside settings. This particular equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. 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 optimizes engine operation in order to offer reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor use since electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for example, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an IC engine.
The IC forklift can be powered by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating expenses are typically the highest for gas and lowest for diesel units. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their machinery based on existing equipment and vehicles available. Like for instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to go with diesel lift trucks also.
Internal combustion forklifts offer 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 can continue to function in no time. These units are cheaper initially to purchase than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to run.
As well, IC forklifts stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to tow or push cargo rather than driving and lifting. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor applications, this can truly be a big advantage.
