The internal combustion or IC forklifts are used most commonly for indoor operations such as manufacturing, trucking, bottling and warehousing. Usually, these models utilize solid rubber tires referred to as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could operate either by diesel, LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas or Dual fuel. The dual fuel models function with both gasoline and LPG. These machinery can operate on either fuel but not at the same time. IC or Internal Combustion engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine could power the hydraulics, the truck and all functions of the truck.
The GO4 Series and the Nissan Forklift Platinum II models have capacities varying from 3000 to 11,000 lbs. These models provide CARB certified dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline or LPG engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines enables the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect nature. The environmental certifications like CARB, help employers provide their workers cleaner and therefore safer working environments.
Nissan's fuel management systems like the LP/Gas combinations provide optimal engine operation which will help to lessen exhaust emissions and offer fantastic fuel economy at the same time. Each and every Platinum II fork truck is equipped with their standard compressive engine protection system in place to warn operators in case of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This specific system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
As companies have tried to become more "green" to be more environmentally friendly and efficient, the dual fuel lift trucks units have been making big waves in the business. It's also a good idea to rent the machine for a bit to find out if you like the way it handles prior to making a huge investment. There are many different choices within the industry these days and with a little research, you could choose the best unit for your certain operation.
