The IC or internal combustion lift trucks are utilized most commonly for indoor applications such as trucking, manufacturing, bottling and warehousing. Usually, these models utilize solid rubber tires referred to as cushion tires. The Internal Combustion forklift units could run either by dual fuel, diesel or LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas. The dual fuel models operate with both LPG or Liquid Petroleum Gas and gasoline. These machines are able to run on either fuel but not at the same time. IC engines are Class 4 lift trucks. The engine can power the truck, the hydraulics and all functions of the truck.

The CARB certification on these particular engines gives them the confidence to help protect nature because it enables the forklifts to generate low emissions. The environmental certifications like CARB, help many employers offer their workers cleaner and thus safer working settings.
