Similar to the car engine, the internal combustion or IC lift trucks burn fuel in engines. It is most common for these machines to be used for outdoor applications. This is due to electric models not being safe for use in the rain. Furthermore, only internal combustion forklifts are able to handle the biggest loads. For example, if you require over 15,000 lbs. capacity, you will definitely need an internal combustion engine.
IC forklifts operate on diesel fuel, liquid propane, gas or CNG which is compressed natural gas. Normally, the operating costs are often lowest for diesel and highest for gasoline. Propane and CNG fuels come in somewhere in the middle. Numerous people want their machine based on existing vehicles and machines available. For instance, if you currently have fuel storage and utilize diesel vehicles, it is practical to go with diesel forklifts too.
Internal combustion lift trucks offer a huge 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 forklift is ready to continue working in no time. These units are less expensive initially to purchase compared to electric forklifts but actually cost more per hour to run.
In addition, internal combustion lift trucks stand up to certain kinds of misuse better than electric forklifts. Specifically, these equipment are utilized to tow or push loads rather than lifting and driving. Usually, they have better top speeds and acceleration. In outdoor use, this could be a huge advantage.
