Mitsubishi RBF14-16-20CA series sit-down reach truck range

MLA Holdings has released the RBF14-16-20CA series sit-down reach truck range, which adds to the range of warehouse products from Mitsubishi.

Available in three models, each is powered by a 48 V traction battery. The 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 ton models all use AC motor technology for greater power efficiency and lift heights of up to 10.5 m.

Features include safety, good control system and smooth operation.

The Operation Interlock System deactivates travelling when the operator is not seated. Furthermore, a Neutral Safety feature prevents sudden movement should the accelerator or hydraulics be accidently activated, while a sensitive lift speed control automatically slows lifting and steering when truck is above a certain speed. Direction control, horn and emergency stop button are located ergonomically on the armrest console.

Additional safety features include: colour cameras; blue safety lights; red halo perimeter lights; laser pointer; drive-in racking; side shift with fork positioning; single point battery watering system or maintenance-free batteries; speed limiting; and load weight indicators or digital weight scales.

An optimised operator experience is ensured by the SICOS-AC control system that integrates the hydraulics, travelling and steering functions. Also integrated is a self-diagnostic function that constantly monitors for malfunctions. Any faults discovered are communicated via diagnostic codes making it easy to identify the problem and rectify.

AC motor technology delivers a smooth, powerful drive and low maintenance costs. A regeneration function charges power back to the battery through plugging, coasting and braking to ensure longer operating hours from one charge.

Integral side shift is a standard feature, while steer by wire 360 degrees steering means there is no need for switch back, to ensure effortless steering.
