The IC or internal combustion lift trucks are used most normally for indoor operations such as trucking, manufacturing, warehousing and bottling. Usually, these models use solid rubber tires known as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could run either by diesel, LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas or Dual fuel. The dual fuel models operate with both gasoline and LPG. These equipment can work on either fuel but not at the same time. Internal combustion engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine is responsible for powering all functions of the truck, the hydraulics and truck.
The GO4 Series and the Nissan Forklift Platinum II models have capacities ranging from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. These units offer CARB certified LPG or dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline engines. The CARB certification on these specific engines allows the forklifts to generate low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications such as CARB, help many employers provide their workers cleaner and therefore safer working atmosphere.
Nissan's fuel management systems like the LP/Gas combinations provide optimal engine operation which would help to decrease exhaust emissions and offer fantastic fuel economy at the same time. Each Platinum II fork truck is equipped 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 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 lots of companies are trying to be as "green" as possible and as environmentally friendly and efficient as they could. It's also a good idea to lease the machinery for a bit to see if you like the way it handles prior to making a huge investment. There are many different options in the industry these days and with some research, you could pick the right model for your certain application.
