IC Forklifts for Heavy-Duty Jobs
Toyota offers a full line of material handling equipment including hand pallet jacks, electric forklifts, Internal Combustion (IC) forklifts, reach trucks, order pickers, hand pallet jacks and stackers, and more. There are many options, however, when companies are faced with heavy-duty jobs in rough terrain, IC forklifts are usually the top choice.
The Industrial Truck Association (ITA) classifies forklifts into five categories, classes 1 – 5. Class 5 forklifts are IC forklifts with pneumatic tires. IC forklifts are powered by liquid propane gas (LPG), compressed natural gas (CNG), Gasoline, and diesel fuel.
Primarily used outdoors, IC forklifts are built to handle rough terrain in a safe and efficient manner. Here are the advantages of IC forklifts: 
- Designed for use on uneven surfaces
- Can handle a wide variety of terrain
- Have fast travel speeds
- Accelerate quickly
- Refuel easily
- And have lower upfront costs (typically 20 – 40 percent less than electric forklifts)
IC forklifts are often used in industries like foundries, recycling facilities, manufacturing, shipping, and construction. Companies chose them for their ability to easily handle items like lumber, concrete, brick, and other heavy materials.
Let’s look at four IC forklifts available from Toyota Material Handling.
