The Platinum II IC or Internal Combustion engine lift truck gives greater horsepower and torque suitable for numerous tough outdoor or inside settings. This equipment is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II could be run by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to offer 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 machinery to be used for outdoor operations. This is due to electric units not being safe for use in the rain. Additionally, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. Like for example, if you require more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will certainly need an IC engine.
IC forklifts run 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. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of individuals want their machine based on existing vehicles and machinery available. For example, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it is practical to utilize diesel forklifts also.
Internal combustion forklifts offer a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your forklift could continue to work in no time. These units are cheaper to purchase initially compared to electric lift trucks but really cost more per hour to run.
What's more, IC lift trucks stand up to certain types of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor applications, this can be a big advantage.
