The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck offers more torque and horsepower suitable for a range of tough outdoor or indoor settings. This machinery has the ability to keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer less exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor applications as electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an IC engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be powered by diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating costs are typically the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals want their machine based on existing machinery and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to use diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC lift truck offers a huge disadvantage: they can be filled up easily 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 less expensive initially to purchase compared to electric forklifts but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor applications, this could be a huge advantage.
