The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides greater torque and horsepower suitable for a variety of tough outside or indoor environments. This particular machine could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. 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 offer reduced exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor use as electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Moreover, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. For example, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would certainly need an IC engine.
The internal combustion forklift can be powered by diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating costs are usually the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and machinery available. Like for instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to utilize diesel forklifts too.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a huge 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 can continue to work in no time. These units are less expensive to buy initially compared to electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to run.
The IC forklift could stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these equipment are used to push or tow loads rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor operation, this could be a huge advantage.
