The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck provides greater horsepower and torque suitable for a variety of tough outdoor or inside settings. This machinery can keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Similar to the automobile engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks 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. Furthermore, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. For instance, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks run on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their machinery based on existing machines and vehicles available. For example, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to purchase than electric forklifts but really cost much more per hour to run.
In addition, IC forklifts stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this could be a big advantage.
