The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives more horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outdoor or indoor settings. This equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas provided by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to provide reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like car engines. These models are the most common alternative for outdoor use since electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. In addition, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. For example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely require an IC engine.
IC lift trucks work on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating costs are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their equipment based on existing machinery and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it really makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks also.
IC lift trucks provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could 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 initially to purchase compared to electric lift trucks but really cost a lot more per hour to operate.
The IC lift truck can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machines are used to tow or push loads rather than driving and lifting. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor operation, this could really be a huge advantage.
