Internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines like car engines. These models are the most common alternative for outdoor applications as electric units are not able to be used safely in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion lift trucks are able to handle the largest loads. For instance, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely require an internal combustion engine.
The internal combustion forklift can be run by diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. The operating expenses are normally the highest for gas and lowest for diesel models. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their machinery based on existing machinery and vehicles available. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it makes sense to go with diesel lift trucks as well.
IC lift trucks provide a big advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they can be filled up easily with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These models are cheaper initially to buy compared to electric lift trucks but really cost more per hour to operate.
The IC forklift will stand up far better to misuse over the electric lift truck models. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to push or tow cargo rather than lifting and driving. Generally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. Within outdoor operation, this could be a big advantage.
