The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives more torque and horsepower ideal for many tough outdoor or inside settings. This particular machine is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II can be run by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to provide great fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines like car engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor applications as electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely require an IC engine.
Internal combustion forklifts operate on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Normally, the operating expenses are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their machinery based on existing vehicles and equipment on hand. Like for example, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it is practical to go with diesel forklifts also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC forklift offers a big drawback: they could easily 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 less expensive initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion lift truck could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to push or tow cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor use, this can be a huge advantage.
