The internal combustion or IC lift trucks are utilized most frequently for indoor applications like trucking, manufacturing, warehousing and bottling. Normally, these units utilize solid rubber tires referred to as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift models can operate either by Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG, dual fuel or diesel. The dual fuel units operate with both LPG and gasoline. These machines can function on either fuel but not simultaneously. IC engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine could power 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 lbs. They come in units powered by dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline or LPG 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 like for example CARB, help employers provide their employees cleaner and thus safer working settings.
Nissan's fuel management systems like the LP/Gas combinations provide optimal engine operation which would help to decrease exhaust emissions and offer incredible fuel economy at the same time. Every Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their standard compressive engine protection system in place so as to warn operators in the event of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This specific system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
Because companies have tried to become more "green" to be more environmentally friendly and efficient, the dual fuel lift trucks units have been making big waves within the business. 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 big investment. There are numerous choices in the industry these days and with some research, you can select the best model for your particular operation.
