The IC or internal combustion lift trucks are utilized most normally for indoor operations such as trucking, manufacturing, bottling and warehousing. Normally, these units use solid rubber tires referred to as cushion tires. The IC forklift models could operate either by LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas, dual fuel or diesel. The dual fuel units operate with both gasoline and LPG. These equipment can function on either fuel but not simultaneously. Internal Combustion or IC engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine could power the hydraulics, the truck and all functions of the truck.
Nissan's forklift Platinum II units 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 specific engines gives them the confidence to help protect the environment as it enables the forklifts to produce low emissions. The environmental certifications like for example CARB, help many employers offer their workers cleaner and thus safer working settings.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations provide optimal engine operation which would help to decrease exhaust emissions and provide fantastic fuel economy at the same time. Each and every Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their standard compressive engine protection system in place to warn operators in the event of excessive heat or a severe drop in oil pressure. This specific system helps to extend your engine and drive train life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
As companies have tried to become more "green" to be more efficient and environmentally friendly, the dual fuel forklifts models have been making big waves in the industry. It's also a great idea to rent the equipment for a while to see if you like the way it handles before making a huge investment. There are a lot of different alternatives within the business these days and with some research, you could choose the best unit for your certain use.
