The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides greater torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outside or inside environments. This particular machine can keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be run by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to provide excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Similar to the car engine, the IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machinery to be used for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. In addition, only IC forklifts are able to handle the biggest cargo. For example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an IC engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks work on diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their equipment based on existing vehicles and machines available. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it is practical to utilize diesel forklifts too.
IC forklifts provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily 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 to buy initially than electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to operate.
The IC lift truck would stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck units. Specifically, these machines are used to push or tow loads as opposed to lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor use, this can be a big advantage.
