The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives greater horsepower and torque ideal for many tough outdoor or inside settings. This machinery is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II can be run by Liquid Propane, Gas, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to offer reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines like car engines. These units are the most common alternative for outdoor use since electric models are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For example, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely need an IC engine.
IC forklifts work on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Normally, the operating expenses are often 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 vehicles and machines on hand. For example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to utilize diesel lift trucks as well.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion forklift provides a huge disadvantage: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These models are cheaper to purchase initially than electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to run.
Additionally, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these machinery are used to push or tow loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. In outdoor use, this can be a huge advantage.
