The Platinum II internal combustion or IC engine forklift gives more horsepower and torque ideal for numerous tough outdoor or indoor environments. This particular machinery 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, Gas or Liquid Propane. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation in order to offer less exhaust emissions and great fuel economy.
Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These units are the most common choice for outdoor use because electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. For instance, if you require over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an IC engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks work on liquid propane, diesel fuel, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Typically, the operating expenses are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. A lot of individuals want their equipment based on existing vehicles and machinery available. For instance, if you currently utilize diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it truly is practical to use diesel forklifts too.
With their ability to refuel on the fly, the internal combustion forklift provides a big drawback: they could simply be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck can continue to operate in no time. These units are less expensive to buy initially compared to electric lift trucks but actually cost more per hour to run.
Moreover, internal combustion forklifts stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these machines are used to tow or push loads rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. For outdoor applications, this could be a big advantage.
