Most commonly, internal combustion or IC lift trucks are used for indoor operations like: manufacturing, trucking, warehousing and bottling, amongst other things. These models ride on cushion tires which are solid rubber tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could operate either by diesel, LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas or Dual fuel. The dual fuel models operate with both LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas and gasoline. These machines can operate on either fuel but not at the same time. IC or Internal Combustion engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine can power all functions of the truck, the hydraulics and truck.
Nissan's forklift Platinum II units and the GO4 Series have lifting capacities from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. They come in models powered by LPG/gasoline or LPG or dual-fuel engines. The CARB certification on these specific engines allows the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect nature. The environmental certifications such as CARB, help employers provide cleaner and thus safer working atmosphere for their workers.
The fuel management systems offered by Nissan, the LP/Gas combinations, provide optimum engine operation to decrease exhaust emissions and provide incredible fuel economy at the same time. Each Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their standard compressive engine protection system in place to be able to warn operators in the event of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This particular system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment functioning at its optimum ability.
