The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives more torque and horsepower ideal for many tough outdoor or inside environments. This equipment is capable of keeping your operation running smooth and maintaining high productivity. The Platinum II can be powered by Gas, Liquid Propane, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation so as to provide reduced exhaust emissions and excellent fuel economy.
Like the car engine, the IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machinery 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 biggest cargo. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift could be powered by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating costs are typically the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their machinery based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it is practical to utilize diesel lift trucks also.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion lift truck offers a big disadvantage: they can be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are less expensive to purchase initially than electric forklifts but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
The internal combustion lift truck can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machinery are utilized to tow or push cargo as opposed to driving and lifting. Generally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this could truly be a big advantage.
