Manufacturers of forklift trucks all recognise the importance their customers place on performance, quality and dependability, but how many operate a zero tolerance policy that does not allow any of these requirements to be compromised? The Mitsubishi truck is a world leader in forklift truck design with a range of robust models at its disposal.
No truck does it better than a Mitsubishi truck. For example, the Mitsubishi N series offers advanced features in forklift truck design that captures every facet of established needs, and blends them with inventive, new techniques that overcome previous limitations. Today, a Mitsubishi truck offers a fully floating powertrain and axles which greatly reduce noise and vibration. By doing so components last longer while the driver experience is much improved.
Power To Move
The Mitsubishi IC engine range of LPG gas or diesels are both powerful and dependable, with components developed by highly experienced Mitsubishi engineers in order to ensure complete customer satisfaction. Diesel (FD series) units can handle weights between 1.5 to 15 tonnes, while LPG (FG series) units can be used to handle between 1.5 and 7 tonnes. Electric powered options (FB series) are capable of handling between 1.5 and 5.5 tonnes courtesy of 24, 48 and 80 volt motors with designs that operate indoors and outdoors. In addition to the range mentioned there is also a range of Mitsubishi truck specifically designed to meet the unique needs found in warehouses. Whether its a Hand Pallet, Platform, Stacker, Reach or turret truck, you'll find what you're looking for in the Mitsubishi truck range, with the capability of handling between 1.0 and 2.5 tonnes.
Driving Experience and Safety
By creating a user friendly driver experience Mitsubishi forklift trucks afford drivers the potential to improve their productivity by extending the time they can sustain operating their vehicle. Mitsubishi recognised that ease of controls and use together with driver comfort were of primary importance in the creation of a forklift truck design that could be required for use over long periods.
Through the use of ergonomics Mitsubishi engineers have ensured that the driver compartment is both welcoming and highly practical. By utilising experience gained from its car vehicle division, Mitsubishi has been able to maximise its efforts in providing forklift drivers with a suspension seat that is both comfortable and highly adjustable. Combined with this comfort are an auto-sized steering wheel and pedals which help make for accurate manoeuvrability. In addition, controls have been conveniently sited as has instrumentation. All with the intention of making the driver's job easier.
In addition to a user friendly driving experience Mitsubishi forklift trucks also ensure that maximum safety is provided through an integrated system of safety designs. Mitsubishi engineers have been able to achieve a very stable platform by virtue of an exceptionally low centre of gravity, which also negates the use of costly apparatus that might ordinarily have been applied to maintain equilibrium. Combined with this highly effective stability, the Mitsubishi truck safety philosophy extends to the inclusion of a host of features such as broad line of sight visibility, sturdy construction, sensitive controls, automatic safety shut downs, warning signals and several automatic fail-safe processes that together ensure driver safety.
Economics
Mitsubishi trucks make economic sense because they offer very impressive fuel returns, the components are robust and durable, while ease of servicing makes them convenient to maintain which means the cost of doing so is also low.
International Coverage
Mitsubishi is a global company in that it has agencies and dealerships throughout the world able to both supply and support its products. The reason Mitsubishi has grown into a global business is simple. It's products are good enough to have earned it global recognition as one of the best available today.
