IC Lift Trucks

IC lift trucks are members of classes V and IV. Usually, they are offered in liquid propane, gas or diesel units. Mainly, the ICE or internal combustion engine models are used outdoors, because they produce some emissions and could function in inclement weather conditions.

It is better to know what specific requirements you need to use the forklift for and what kinds of settings you will be working in, to be able to ensure you select the right model to suit all your requirements.

Over recent years, there have been many advancements regarding emissions technology and this has resulted in lesser total levels of emission. Internal combustion engine trucks remain popular with load sizes about 8000 lbs. and even much higher in certain applications such as lumberyard settings, steel manufacturing facilities and ports.

There are several drawbacks to the ICE models. For instance, they utilize a higher cost-per-hour to operate as compared to electric trucks. This is mainly due to maintenance costs and fuel. Additionally, these units normally produce more noise compared to the electric models as they run louder. ICE trucks also have fuel-storage requirements to consider too.
