The internal combustion or IC lift trucks are used most normally for indoor operations like trucking, manufacturing, warehousing and bottling. Typically, these units use solid rubber tires called cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift models can operate either by diesel, Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG or Dual fuel. The dual fuel units run with both LPG and gasoline. These equipment are able to operate on either fuel but not at the same time. IC engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine is responsible for powering the hydraulics, the truck and all functions of the truck.
The GO4 Series and the Nissan Forklift Platinum II units have capacities varying from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. These units provide CARB certified LPG/gasoline or LPG or dual-fuel engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines enables the forklifts to generate low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications such as CARB, help a lot of employers provide their employees cleaner and thus safer working atmosphere.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations offer optimal engine operation that would help to decrease exhaust emissions and provide incredible fuel economy at the same time. Each and every Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their basic compressive engine protection system in place so as to warn operators in case of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This specific system helps to extend your engine and drive train life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
The dual fuel models are making a splash in the business since many companies are trying to be as "green" as possible and as environmentally efficient and friendly as they could. It's also a good idea to lease the equipment for a while to see if you like the way it handles before purchasing one. There are many different choices within the industry nowadays and with some research, you can select the right unit for your certain application.
