Internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks
Diesel, gasoline, liquid propane or compressed natural gas can be utilized to power an internal combustion engine truck. Gasoline- or diesel-powered lift trucks are usually large trucks used outdoors. They have either cushion tires made of solid rubber suited to driving on floors indoors or pneumatic tires suitable for driving on steep inclines and rough terrain.
The ITA categorizes internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks with cushion tires as Class 4 trucks. Class 5 are trucks that have pneumatic tires.
Normally utilized to fuel indoor lift trucks is liquid propane. These types of trucks have several benefits. They can provide consistent power during operation and are capable of achieving higher speeds. They don't have to be refueled as frequently as lift trucks powered by other sources. Propane cylinders don't take up a lot of space and could be kept anywhere. The cylinders could be switched out quite easily by a qualified operator.
Internal combustion trucks are easily refueled and this is its benefit. The disadvantages are excessive noise and air-pollution.
