The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives greater torque and horsepower suitable for numerous tough outside or indoor settings. This equipment is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. 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 optimizes engine operation so as to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Similar to the car engine, the internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be used for outdoor applications. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Moreover, only IC forklifts are able to handle the biggest cargo. For instance, if you need over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will certainly need an IC engine.
The IC forklift could be powered by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals want their machine based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and use diesel vehicles, it truly is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks as well.
IC forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your forklift could continue to function in no time. These units are less expensive initially to buy than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck will stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck models. Specifically, these machinery are used to tow or push cargo rather than driving and lifting. Generally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor applications, this could truly be a big advantage.
