The Platinum II Internal Combustion or IC lift truck provides greater horsepower and torque suitable for a range of tough outdoor or inside settings. This equipment has the ability to keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can 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 so as 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 machinery to be utilized 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 over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
IC forklifts run 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. Numerous individuals choose their machine based on existing machines and vehicles available. Like for instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it really is practical to utilize diesel forklifts as well.
Internal combustion forklifts offer a big 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 forklift can continue to work in no time. These units are less expensive to purchase initially than electric lift trucks but really cost more per hour to run.
The IC lift truck could stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow cargo as opposed to lifting and driving. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this could truly be a huge advantage.
