The IC or internal combustion lift trucks are used most commonly for indoor applications like trucking, manufacturing, bottling and warehousing. Usually, these models utilize solid rubber tires called cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could function either by dual fuel, diesel or Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG. The dual fuel units operate with both gasoline and LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. These machinery are able to operate on either fuel but not at the same time. Internal combustion engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine is responsible for powering the truck, the hydraulics and all functions of the truck.
Nissan's forklift Platinum II models and the GO4 Series have lifting capacities from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. They come in units powered by LPG/gasoline or LPG or dual-fuel engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines allows the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications like CARB, help employers provide their workers cleaner and thus safer working settings.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations offer optimal engine operation which will help to reduce exhaust emissions and provide fantastic fuel economy at the same time. Each Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their basic compressive engine protection system in place to warn operators in the event of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment functioning at its optimum ability.
The dual fuel units are making a splash in the industry because many companies are trying to be as "green" as possible and as environmentally efficient and friendly as they could. It's also a great idea to rent the equipment for a while to find out if you like the way it handles before purchasing one. There are many different alternatives in the business nowadays and with some research, you can choose the best model for your particular use.
