Most normally, internal combustion or IC lift trucks are utilized for indoor operations including: trucking, manufacturing, warehousing and bottling, amongst other things. These models ride on cushion tires which are solid rubber tires. The IC forklift models could run either by Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG, dual fuel or diesel. The dual fuel models operate with both LPG and gasoline. These equipment could operate on either fuel but not at the same time. IC or Internal Combustion engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine is responsible for powering 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 pounds. They come in units powered by LPG/gasoline or LPG or dual-fuel engines. The CARB certification on these particular engines allows the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect the environment. The environmental certifications like CARB, help a lot of employers provide cleaner and thus safer working settings for their employees.

Every Platinum II fork truck is outfitted with their basic 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 specific system helps to extend your engine and drive train life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
