The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque suitable for many tough outside or inside settings. This equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to provide reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor applications since electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. In addition, only IC forklifts are able to handle the biggest loads. For example, if you require more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will certainly need an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be run by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are usually the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it is practical to use diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck offers a huge disadvantage: they can simply be filled up 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 cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric forklifts but actually cost a lot more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion forklift can stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow cargo rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. Within outdoor operation, this can truly be a big advantage.
