The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine lift truck gives more torque and horsepower suitable for numerous tough outdoor or inside environments. This machine is capable of maintaining high productivity and keeping your operation running smooth. The Platinum II can be powered by Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Diesel, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to offer reduced exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
IC or internal combustion forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor applications because electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. In addition, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the largest loads. Like for example, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you would definitely need an internal combustion engine.
IC lift trucks operate on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Normally, the operating expenses are often highest for gasoline and lowest for diesel. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Lots of people want their machine based on existing machinery and vehicles available. For example, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it really makes sense to utilize diesel forklifts as well.
IC forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could 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 models are cheaper to buy initially compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to operate.
As well, IC lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow cargo as opposed to driving and lifting. Usually, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor operation, this can truly be a big advantage.
