The IC or internal combustion lift trucks are utilized most commonly for indoor applications like manufacturing, trucking, bottling and warehousing. Normally, these models utilize solid rubber tires called cushion tires. The IC forklift models can operate either by dual fuel, diesel or LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. The dual fuel units operate with both gasoline and LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. These machinery can run on either fuel but not at the same time. Internal Combustion or IC engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine can power the truck, the hydraulics and all functions of the truck.
The GO4 Series and the Nissan Forklift Platinum II units have capacities ranging from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. These units provide CARB certified dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline or LPG engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines enables the forklifts to generate low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications like CARB, help employers provide their employees cleaner and therefore safer working settings.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations offer optimal engine operation that would help to decrease exhaust emissions and provide 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 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 models are making a splash within the business since many companies are trying to be as "green" as possible and as environmentally friendly and efficient as they can. It's also a good idea to rent the machinery for a while to see if you like the way it handles prior to making a big investment. There are a lot of different options within the business nowadays and with a little research, you can select the right model for your certain application.
