The internal combustion or IC lift trucks are used most commonly for indoor applications like manufacturing, trucking, warehousing and bottling. Normally, these models use solid rubber tires referred to as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units can be powered either by dual fuel, diesel or Liquid Petroleum Gas or LPG. The dual fuel units operate with both gasoline and LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. These machines are able to run 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 lbs. They come in models powered by LPG/gasoline or LPG or dual-fuel engines. The CARB certification on these specific engines enables the forklifts to produce low emissions and gives them the confidence to help protect nature. The environmental certifications like CARB, help employers offer their employees cleaner and therefore safer working environments.
The fuel management systems provided by Nissan, the LP/Gas combinations, provide optimum engine operation to lessen exhaust emissions and provide incredible fuel economy at the same time.

This system helps to extend your drive train and engine life to help keep your lift truck investment working at its optimum ability.
