The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque suitable for many tough outside or inside environments. This particular machine is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II can be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer great fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Similar to the automobile engine, the internal combustion or IC 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 internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the biggest cargo. For instance, if you need more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely require an IC engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks operate 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. Lots of people want their machine based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks too.
IC lift trucks offer a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can simply be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift can continue to function in no time. These units are less expensive to purchase initially compared to electric lift trucks but really cost much more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion forklift can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push loads as opposed to lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor applications, this can be a huge advantage.
