The Platinum II IC or internal combustion forklift provides greater torque and horsepower ideal for a variety of tough outdoor or indoor environments. This particular machine has the ability to keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. 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 in order to provide excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Like the automobile engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these equipment to be used for outdoor applications. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an internal combustion engine.
IC lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating costs are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and machinery available. For example, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it is practical to use diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck provides a big drawback: they could simply be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck can continue to function in no time. These models are less expensive to purchase initially compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to run.
Furthermore, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor use, this could really be a huge advantage.
