The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck offers greater torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outside or indoor settings. This particular machine can keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II could be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to automobile engines. These units are the most common option for outdoor use since electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. For example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will certainly need an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating expenses are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Many individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and equipment available. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts as well.
IC lift trucks provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can easily be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck can continue to work in no time. These models are cheaper to purchase initially than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
What's more, IC lift trucks stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these machines are used to push or tow loads rather than driving and lifting. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. In outdoor use, this could be a huge advantage.
