The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck provides more torque and horsepower suitable for a range of tough outdoor or inside environments. This machinery has the ability to keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to provide great fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor applications since electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. For instance, if you need more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely require an IC engine.
IC forklifts run on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of individuals want their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles on hand. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it truly is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks also.
Internal combustion forklifts provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can easily 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 models are cheaper to buy initially than electric forklifts but really cost much more per hour to operate.
Additionally, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to tow or push loads as opposed to lifting and driving. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor applications, this could truly be a big advantage.
