The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outdoor or indoor environments. This machinery is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II can be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor use since electric models are not able to be used 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 pounds capacity, you will definitely require an IC engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be powered by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating expenses are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their machinery based on existing vehicles and machinery on hand. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck offers a big disadvantage: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to run.
Furthermore, internal combustion forklifts stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to tow or push loads rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this can be a big advantage.
