Internal combustion counterbalanced lift trucks

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



The ITA classifies 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 several benefits. They are able to 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 could be stored anywhere because they don't take up a lot of space. The cylinders could be switched out quite easily by a skilled operator.



Internal combustion trucks are easily refueled and this is its benefit. The disadvantages are air-pollution and excessive noise.
