Mitsubishi and Nichiyu FBCB series forklifts

Mitsubishi and Nichiyu have introduced a range of 4-wheel battery electric counterbalance forklifts.

The latest addition to the FBCB series offers a choice of nine models with an updated design and capacities ranging from 1000 to 3500 kg.

The trucks have a variety of optional features and are waterproofed at a rating of IPX4, allowing them to work across all platforms of light- and heavy-duty work cycles.

The driver compartment is ergonomically designed and spacious, while the narrow dashboard, high-visibility mast, small steering wheel and optimised lever placement are designed to maximise safety without compromising on control.

With a low centre of gravity, electric hydraulic power steering and curve control, the forklifts are designed to provide increased operator confidence when travelling, cornering and lifting with intuitive speed control.

The trucks keep travel consistent on inclines, responding as if they were driving on a flat surface.

They also feature 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 more efficient, extending working hours per charge (up to 11.5 h) while also reducing running costs.
