The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift offers greater torque and horsepower suitable for a range of tough outside or inside settings. This particular machine has the ability to keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could 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 provide reduced exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor use since electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Furthermore, only IC forklifts are able to handle the biggest cargo. Like for example, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would definitely require an IC engine.
IC lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating costs are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals choose their machine based on existing equipment and vehicles available. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it is practical to use diesel lift trucks also.
IC forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could easily be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to purchase than electric lift trucks but really cost a lot more per hour to run.
Also, IC lift trucks stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to push or tow loads rather than driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. In outdoor use, this could be a huge advantage.
