Internal combustion or IC forklifts burn fuel in engines like automobile engines. These models are the most common choice for outdoor use as electric models are not able to be utilized safely in the rain. In addition, only IC lift trucks are able to handle the biggest cargo. For instance, if you need over 15,000 pounds capacity, you will definitely need an IC engine.
IC lift trucks operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, CNG which is compressed natural gas and gas. Typically, the operating expenses are usually lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. CNG and propane fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous individuals choose their equipment based on existing machines and vehicles on hand. For instance, if you currently use diesel vehicles and have fuel storage, it makes sense to go with diesel forklifts as well.
Internal combustion lift trucks provide a huge advantage with their ability to refuel on the fly: they could easily be filled up with a new propane canister or at a gas pump and your lift truck is ready to continue working in no time. These units are cheaper initially to buy than electric lift trucks but actually cost a lot more per hour to run.
Furthermore, IC lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric lifts. Specifically, these equipment are used to tow or push loads as opposed to lifting and driving. Generally, they have better accelerations and top speeds. For outdoor operation, this can be a huge advantage.
