This particular machine can keep your operation running smoothly and highly productive. The Platinum II can be run by Gas, Liquid Propane, Dual Fuel with Gas/LP or Diesel. The fuel management system LP/Gas offered by Nissan makes the most of engine operation so as to offer excellent fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions.
Internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines similar to automobile engines. These models are the most common option for outdoor applications as electric units are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. Additionally, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For example, if you need more than 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely require an IC engine.
The IC forklift can be run by liquid propane, diesel fuel, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating expenses are usually the lowest for diesel and the highest for gas models. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals want their machinery based on existing vehicles and machines on hand. Like for instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it truly makes sense to go with diesel lift trucks too.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a big 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 lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are less expensive initially to purchase than electric forklifts but really cost a lot more per hour to run.
The IC forklift can stand up far better to misuse over the electric forklift units. Specifically, these machines are used to push or tow cargo rather than lifting and driving. Normally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this can be a huge advantage.
