Mitsubishi 4-Wheel Battery Electric Counterbalance Forklift Range continues to expand.

The Mitsubishi 4-wheel battery electric counterbalance forklift range continues to expand.

The latest addition of the FBCB series offers a choice of 12 models with an updated, modern-looking design and capacities ranging from 1000 to 5000 kg.

With a wide variety of optional features and a waterproof rating of IPX4, the new range of FBCB forklifts will provide users with an electric truck that will work across all platforms of light- and heavy-duty work cycles. A range of battery and charger options including lithium power is available within the product range where solutions can be tailored to suit user applications.

Even throughout long shifts, drivers can stay comfortable in the spacious and ergonomic driver compartment. With a narrow dashboard, high-visibility mast, small steering wheel and optimised lever placement, all-around vision has been maximised for safety without compromising on control.

With a low centre of gravity, electric hydraulic power steering and curve control, the FBCB series allows for increased operator confidence when travelling, cornering and lifting with intuitive speed control. The forklift is designed to keep travel consistent on inclines, responding as if it were driving on a flat surface.

Features include a choice of operation modes, which can be adjusted to meet the driver requirements associated with the operator’s skill level, workplace conditions and operator’s preferences.

An additional ECO mode can be selected to make energy consumption even more efficient, extending working hours per charge (up to 11.5 h) while also reducing running costs. If the forklift is left idling with no operation for 15 min, an auto power-off comes into effect further conserving energy.

While the base model is suited to many different working situations, a wide choice of options and attachments is available, allowing the truck to be precisely specified to meet the user’s needs. PIN code entry can be enabled at an administrator level to allow tight control over who can operate the fleet and adjust the operational characteristics.
