The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives greater torque and horsepower ideal for numerous tough outdoor or indoor settings. This particular machinery is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be powered by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to provide great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like car engines. These units are the most common alternative for outdoor applications since electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. In addition, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. For example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely require an internal combustion engine.
IC lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and machinery available. Like for instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to use diesel forklifts also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC lift truck provides a big drawback: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These models are less expensive initially to purchase compared to electric lift trucks but really cost a lot more per hour to run.
Furthermore, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lift trucks. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor use, this could be a big advantage.
