The Platinum II IC or internal combustion lift truck provides greater horsepower and torque suitable for a range of tough outdoor or indoor settings. This particular machinery could keep your operation highly productive and running smoothly. The Platinum II could be powered by Diesel, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP, Liquid Propane or Gas. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan optimizes engine operation in order to offer excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
IC or internal combustion lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to car engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor use because electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Moreover, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the biggest loads. Like for instance, if you need more than 15,000 lbs. capacity, you would certainly require an internal combustion engine.
Internal combustion lift trucks run on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their machinery based on existing equipment and vehicles available. For example, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it truly makes sense to go with diesel forklifts as well.
IC forklifts provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily at a gas pump or with a new propane canister and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These models are less expensive to buy initially than electric lift trucks but really cost much more per hour to run.
The internal combustion forklift would stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck models. Specifically, these machines are utilized to tow or push loads as opposed to driving and lifting. Generally, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor applications, this can truly be a huge advantage.
