Most normally, internal combustion or IC lift trucks are used for indoor operations such as: manufacturing, trucking, warehousing and bottling, among other things. These units ride on cushion tires which are solid rubber tires. The IC forklift units could be powered either by LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas, dual fuel or diesel. The dual fuel models run with both LPG and gasoline. These machinery are able to function on either fuel but not simultaneously. Internal Combustion or IC engines are Class 4 forklifts. The engine can power 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 nature as it allows the forklifts to generate low emissions. The environmental certifications such as CARB, help many employers offer their employees cleaner and thus safer working settings.
