maintenance is required.
Longer Preventative Maintenance Intervals
With the Platinum II Series, most major service intervals are only
required every 500-600 hours, reducing labor and lowering your
operating costs.
Keep your starter and
battery healthy with a starter
interlock. This optional equipment
protects the forklift’s starting
system by restricting repeated
attempts to start the engine when
the LP system is out of fuel.
A standard parking brake transmission
interlock keeps the forklift in neutral and
prevents the operator from driving while
the parking brake is engaged to protect
the brakes and transmission and reduce
premature brake wear.
Easy LP Tank Changes
With our simplified LP replacement system, an optional bracket
swings out 90º, then pulls down to a manageable height, for
faster, easier tank replacement. Not available on all models.
Up Your
UpTime
Defend Against Overheating
Our reliable cooling system includes an electronic engine protection and
warning system that monitors radiator fluid and transmission oil
temperatures at all times. This system also contains a field-proven bottom
bypass design with thermostat to prevent hot spots and prolong engine
life. And its large 10-blade fan and aluminum radiator produce effective
cross-flow cooling.
Reduce Downtime through Self-Diagnostics
Integrated on-board diagnostics provides immediate truck status.
Standard equipment on the Platinum II Series, this intuitive dialogue
display, combined with accessible service history, reduces troubleshooting
time, so the unit is back in operation faster. Everything is done through its
smart LCD panel. No handset device is needed.
When it comes to keeping your operation up
and running, the Platinum II Series offers you
significant advantages, beginning with a reliable
cooling design, service reminders and longer
maintenance intervals. Throughout the Platinum II
you’ll find innovative and proven protection and
warning systems to help you maximize uptime,
while minimizing cost.

Cleaner Running Engines
for Greater Performance
The injector valve’s powerful opening
force aids in conditions where lower
quality LP fuel is used. Gas is located
under the valve to help reduce possible
tar build up on the injectors which can
adversely affect performance. A
pressure sensor is located between
the two injectors.
Power &
Performance
Paired for Maximum
Performance
Built to our specifications, the
Platinum II’s transmission is
uniquely designed to optimize the
horsepower and torque of our K21
and K25 industrial engines. This
proven drivetrain delivers powerful,
yet efficient performance.
More Power, More Efficiently
Advanced engine technology makes
it possible for our K21 and K25
engines to deliver greater torque at
lower RPMs. This is achieved due to
a combination of factors, including
direct ignition coils connected to
each cylinder, a centrally positioned
spark plug on the combustion chamber
as well as electronic monitoring and
control systems. Platinum II models
also include an atmospheric sensor
that delivers enhanced performance
in high altitudes.
Built for Rugged Dependability
Solid steer axles and thick steel front
fenders provide protection against
harsh work environments.
Operator Efficiency
Achieved
Choose the optional integral side
shifter resulting in fewer moves
to store and retrieve loads, while
minimizing capacity loss versus
hang-on designs.
Greater Productivity
Compact Design
A small steering wheel and intuitive
controls make these trucks highly suited
for maneuverable performance within
confined areas of the warehouse.
Switch to the Platinum II’s optional
Economy mode to get greater fuel
efficiency. Independent testing
has shown our K21 engines use
nearly 11% less fuel compared to
competitive models under unloaded
conditions.*

Sweet
Savings
Extra Protection
Without Extra Expense
In the event of excessive heat or loss in engine oil
pressure, our Powertrain Protection System reduces
engine RPM for longer engine and drivetrain life. This
great feature is standard on models powered by our
K21 and K25 engines, versus competitive forklifts
requiring a costly add-on.
Reduce Tire
Wear & Save Fuel
Our power/economy controlled
acceleration feature restricts the
acceleration rate to maximize fuel
economy and minimize tire spin.
Gradual acceleration is also useful
when moving fragile loads or
operating in confined areas. Three
design choices for this option offer
increasingly more security against
tampering: toggle switch, key switch
or set internal parameters to keep this
feature activated.
Eliminate Spark Plug Wires
and Timing Adjustments
The engine cylinder timing is
individually controlled through an
ignition coil at each plug, eliminating
associated maintenance. Free from
mechanical linkages or aging wires
that can cause performance loss,
this design delivers better engine
efficiency.
Extended Service Intervals
The electronic ignition system means
you’ll service the Platinum II less often
because the recommended times
between routine maintenance is longer.
And you’ll spend less time doing it
because the critical service points —
including fluids, filters and belts — are
all readily accessible.
Long Life LEDs
Everything about the Platinum II is
designed for longer life and greater
savings, including the standard
LED headlights that deliver greater
visibility while being more economical
and cost-effective over the life of
the machine.

Save More,
Waste Less
With the Platinum II’s standard LPMax
System nearly every drop of liquid LP
is used thanks to its reliable and timely
low fuel warning, reducing early tank
replacement and saving you money.
An average 8-minute* warning means
the operator can maximize productivity
— instead of lugging an empty tank to
the refill station.
Our Overhead Guard
Reduces Your Overhead
Beyond ample headroom, the
five-piece overhead guard takes
75% less time to make needed
replacements versus competitors’
single-piece, welded-on guards.
That cuts downtime and costs.

OSHA strictly regulates
carbon monoxide (CO)
levels in the workplace
for good reason.
The Platinum II’s CO levels are
among the lowest in its engine
class — three times lower than
those of a major competitor
based on 2015 certification
results from the California Air
Resources Board.
We achieved these lower and
cleaner emission levels through
the higher combustion efficiency
delivered by our electronic engine
control system that incorporates
a Vehicle Control Module (VCM),
Engine Control Module (ECM)
and a 3-way catalytic muffler.

closed loop design to produce high combustion efficiency
with lower and cleaner emission levels. We’ve also included
several security systems as standard, and more options to
meet your particular needs.
Safety Doesn’t Have to be
Complicated
Unlike the complex systems offered
by some competitors, our cushioned
stability control is simple, extremely
effective and zero maintenance —
enhanced lateral stability is achieved
by a rubber damper placed between
the axle and frame.
For Even Greater Security
Several options are available for added protection:
- Seatbelt Interlocks include a variety of choices for restricting forklift
operations if the seatbelt is not latched.
- Fire Extinguisher mounted to the overhead guard pillar, for quick and
easy access.
- Orange Seatbelt is highly visible, making seatbelt usage easier to
