Internal Combustion Lift Trucks
IC lift trucks are members of classes IV and V. Normally, they are available in gas, diesel or liquid propane models. Mostly, the ICE or internal combustion engine units are used outdoors, as they are able to operate in rough climate and produce some emissions. However, propane-powered units, can be utilized indoors provided that proper ventilation is utilized. It is best to know what specific requirements you need to utilize the forklift for and what kinds of environments you would be operating in, in order to ensure you pick the best unit to meet your requirements.
ICE Benefits
Compared to a similar capacity electric truck, the Internal Combustion engine is offered in a lower initial purchase price varying anywhere from twenty to forty percent lower. The ICE models are simple and fast to refuel. This feature really reduces downtime as there is no need to recharge any batteries, like there is with electric units.
To the similarly equipped electric truck, IC models do provide a higher performance capabilities with far heavier lift capacities compared to electric lift truck models. Over recent years, there have been numerous changes regarding emissions technology and this has resulted in lower total levels of emission. ICE trucks remain popular with load sizes about 8,000 pounds and even much higher in certain operations such as ports, lumberyard settings and steel manufacturing facilities.
Internal Combustion Engine Drawbacks
The Internal Combustion models do suffer from a few disadvantages including a higher cost-per-hour to operate as compared to electric trucks, because of the excess needs for fuel. Additionally, these units usually create more noise than the electric models because they run louder. ICE trucks also have fuel-storage requirements to consider as well.
Disadvantages of Utilizing Scissor Lifts
A scissor lift is a specific kind of mobile scaffolding. This wheel-mounted machine provides power to a work platform that moves up and down. The lift could be powered by propane, electricity, gas or diesel. Scissor lifts are characterized by a variety of scissor-like joints that raise the machine by collapsing and expanding. Numerous safety features are built into scissor lifts nowadays, particularly models that are newer. As with any safety features, they may not be able to guarantee safety and several features can sometimes malfunction or they could be manually overridden by operators.
Accidental Elevation
Construction workers usually utilize scissor lifts to work at higher heights. Workers can raise the work platform to just beneath the ceiling level. The issue with accidental elevation could happen if the workers bump into the elevation controls inadvertently when working. In the ceiling scenario, the controls might be accidentally activated and the platform could rise up and accidentally crush them into the ceiling.
Electrocution
Workers need to be really cautious, making sure they are fully aware of their surroundings. This would ensure they don't inadvertently electrocute themselves. If, for example, an operator makes direct contact with or inadvertently touches an electrical conductor or an induction field, tragic outcome can occur.
Lateral Loads
While using a scissor lift, it is important to be familiar with the loading limitations in the instruction manual of your scissor lift. Really serious consequences can happen if the platform is mis-loaded. A lateral-load is amongst the possible issues that could happen if the whole lift overturns. This situation occurs if a heavy tool or material like a concrete slab that hangs over the scissor lift platform's side, causing the whole machinery to become unbalanced at once and greatly prone to dangerously tipping over.
