The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outside or inside environments. This particular machine 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 provide excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Similar to the automobile engine, the internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be utilized for outdoor applications. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for instance, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion forklifts work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating costs are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many people want their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles on hand. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it truly makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the IC lift truck offers a huge drawback: 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 units are less expensive initially to purchase than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to operate.
The internal combustion lift truck will stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift models. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor operation, this can be a huge advantage.
