IC or Internal Combustion Forklifts: The Internal Combustion Lift Trucks run on gas, liquid propane, compressed natural gas or CNG or diesel.

Units which run on gasoline are also suitable to be utilized in bad weather and in the rain. These units can lift weights roughly 15,000 to 35,000 pounds. Because of the fuel expenses and maintenance, models that run on gas are more expensive to utilize than the electric models, however, they cost a lot less up front than electric powered models. The liquid propane units are the right choice to be used inside.
