Internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks

Internal combustion engine trucks are powered by liquid propane, compressed natural gas, diesel or gasoline. Lift trucks that are powered by diesel or gasoline are normally big trucks utilized outdoors. They have either pneumatic tires suitable for driving on steep inclines and rough terrains, or cushion tires made of solid rubber suited to driving on floors indoors.



The ITA categorizes internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks with cushion tires as Class 4 trucks. Trucks with pneumatic tires are Class 5.



Liquid propane is usually used to fuel indoor lift trucks. These types of trucks have some benefits. They can provide consistent power during operation and are capable of achieving higher speeds. They don't need to be refueled as often as lift trucks powered by other sources. Propane cylinders can be kept anywhere as they don't take up much space. The cylinders could be switched out fairly easily by a skilled operator.



Internal combustion trucks are easy to refuel and this is its benefit. The disadvantages are air-pollution and excessive noise.
