The IC or internal combustion forklifts are used most commonly for indoor applications such as trucking, manufacturing, bottling and warehousing. Typically, these models utilize solid rubber tires known as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift models could operate either by Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG, dual fuel or diesel. The dual fuel models operate with both gasoline and LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. These equipment are able to operate on either fuel but not simultaneously. IC engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine is responsible for powering the truck, the hydraulics and all functions of the truck.
The GO4 Series and the Nissan Forklift Platinum II models have capacities ranging from 3000 to 11,000 lbs. These models provide CARB certified LPG or dual-fuel or LPG/gasoline engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines gives them the confidence to help protect the environment since it allows the forklifts to generate low emissions. The environmental certifications like CARB, help many employers offer their workers cleaner and therefore safer working atmosphere.
Nissan's fuel management systems like the LP/Gas combinations offer optimal engine operation that will help to lessen exhaust emissions and provide incredible fuel economy at the same time. Each and every Platinum II fork truck is equipped with their basic compressive engine protection system in place to warn operators in case of a severe drop in oil pressure or excessive heat. This specific system helps to extend your engine and drive train life to help keep your lift truck investment functioning at its optimum ability.
As companies have tried to become more "green" to be more environmentally friendly and efficient, the dual fuel forklifts models have been making big waves in the business.

There are numerous choices in the business these days and with a little research, you can pick the right unit for your particular use.
