Benefits of ICE Forklift Models

At Alta Material Handling, our range of ICE forklifts allows you to:

Maximize Productivity

Load more per shift, with load weight limits of up to 19,000 pounds. Refuel in minutes and reduce the downtime associated with recharging electric batteries, all with consistent power even as the tank empties.

Lower Your Up-Front Costs

Save more on your initial purchase compared to electric forklifts and eliminate the cost of installing charging infrastructure.

Improve Reliability

IC forklifts generally have sealed systems that may be less vulnerable than electric systems. Some IC models can handle different precipitation and extreme hot or cold, both indoors and outside, as well as steep ramps, rough terrain and remote areas where reliable grid access may be limited. 

Industries and Applications

Many sectors rely on ICE forklifts:

  • Construction materials: Transport heavy pallet loads, such as bricks, across uneven terrain on active jobsites where smaller forklifts may struggle. Internal combustion forklifts handle different weather conditions and even mud.
  • Warehousing and distribution: Get pallets and heavy loads from warehouses to shipping docks and other outdoor areas easily with heavy-duty ICE forklift models that support multi-shift operations. No electrical charging means minimal downtime, enabling ongoing operations.
  • Manufacturing and assembly: Maximize high-capacity lifting power to transport heavy bales of raw materials to production lines and move finished components to loading bays. Easily handle larger loads, even over ramps and steep inclines in your facilities.
  • Automotive parts: Keep production running around the clock with ICE forklift models, which don't require downtime to recharge batteries. Handle large loads over inclines with fast acceleration and instantaneous power that stays consistent throughout each shift, supporting high throughput.
  • Freezer and cold storage: Enjoy consistent performance in cold outdoor and indoor storage environments with ICE forklifts, which perform well across a wide temperature range without battery drain.
