Internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks

Internal combustion engine trucks are fueled by compressed natural gas, diesel, gasoline or liquid propane. Diesel- or gasoline-powered lift trucks are usually big trucks meant for outdoor use. They have either cushion tires made of solid rubber suited to driving on floors indoors or pneumatic tires appropriate for driving on rough terrain and steep inclines.



The ITA categorizes internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks with cushion tires as Class 4 trucks. Class 5 are trucks which have pneumatic tires.



Liquid propane is normally used to power indoor lift trucks. These types of trucks have some benefits. They are capable of achieving higher speeds and are able to provide consistent power during operation. They don't have to be refueled as often as lift trucks powered by other sources. Propane cylinders don't take up a lot of space and could be stored anywhere. The cylinders can be switched out fairly easily by a trained operator.



The benefit of internal combustion trucks is that they are easily refueled. The drawbacks are air-pollution and too much noise.
