The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque ideal for numerous tough outside or inside environments. This machinery is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be run by Liquid Propane, Gas, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to provide excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Similar to the automobile engine, the internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machinery to be utilized for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for instance, if you require more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will certainly need an IC engine.
IC lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Normally, the operating costs are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles on hand. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it is practical to go with diesel forklifts as well.
IC lift trucks provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The internal combustion forklift could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machines are utilized to push or tow loads rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor applications, this can be a big advantage.
