The internal combustion or IC lift trucks are utilized most frequently for indoor operations like manufacturing, trucking, warehousing and bottling. Normally, these units utilize solid rubber tires called cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could function either by dual fuel, diesel or Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG. The dual fuel units function with both LPG and gasoline. These machinery are able to operate on either fuel but not simultaneously. Internal combustion engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine is responsible for powering the hydraulics, the truck and all functions of the truck.
Nissan's forklift Platinum II models and the GO4 Series have lifting capacities from 3000 to 11,000 pounds. They come in models powered by LPG or dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline engines. The CARB certification on these specific engines gives them the confidence to help protect the environment as it enables the forklifts to generate low emissions. The environmental certifications such as CARB, help many employers provide cleaner and thus safer working atmosphere for their workers.
Nissan's fuel management systems such as the LP/Gas combinations offer optimal engine operation which would help to reduce exhaust emissions and offer fantastic fuel economy at the same time. Every Platinum II fork truck is standard equipped with their compressive engine protection system in place to be able to warn operators in case 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 working at its optimum ability.
