The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more torque and horsepower ideal for many tough outside or inside settings. This particular equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. 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 in order to provide excellent fuel economy and less exhaust emissions.
Like the car engine, the IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines to be utilized for outdoor operations. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Moreover, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest cargo. For instance, if you need over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely require an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift can be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. The operating costs are normally the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas units. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their equipment based on existing vehicles and equipment on hand. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to use diesel lift trucks also.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could simply be filled up at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These units are less expensive initially to purchase than electric forklifts but really cost more per hour to run.
The internal combustion forklift could stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck models. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to push or tow cargo rather than lifting and driving. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor use, this could truly be a huge advantage.
