Heavy duty forklift

Green giants under power

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks is expanding its range of counterbalance trucks with new heavy-duty electric forklifts with load capacities from 6 to 12 tons.

The vehicles in the FB60-120N(H) series have high power reserves that can be called up at any time - without any loss of power or precision. At the same time, they offer high acceleration. A low protective roof is available for all models, including the 12-ton trucks, which makes the trucks container-compatible and at the same time increases the flexibility of use of the machines. For working in confined spaces, there are models with single tires that do not protrude beyond the chassis.

The H models have four-wheel steering (4WS), which impresses with its high manoeuvrability, which further optimizes work in confined spaces. On the 4WS models, the front drive motors are controlled independently of each other, ensuring excellent grip and precise maneuvering. The rear axle has a full steering angle of 101 degrees with two drive motors for fast and smooth turning on the spot. This also completely eliminates the "starting thrust" that occurs with conventional drive systems.
The load-dependent hydraulic system ensures that the load handling always reacts in the same way, even with different weights. A traction control system ensures uniform and more controllable chassis movements at greater lifting heights of over 2.5 meters.

Comfortable, safe workplace and smooth, precise control

Low Noise Lift - an innovation from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks, developed for the EDiA forklift trucks, also offers the quietest hydraulic pump on the market for heavy-duty forklift trucks at just 65 dB. The spacious and open cab comfortably accommodates drivers of all sizes. The cab is rubber-mounted to minimize vibrations and ensure that even longer working shifts are comfortable.

Modern control options, including two joysticks for simultaneous lifting and tilting, enable individual programming of operation to suit the respective requirements. The touch-sensitive fingertip control responds naturally and smoothly thanks to spring-loaded levers, even when the operator is wearing thick gloves, and ensures finely tuned operation.

In addition to the fully adjustable driving position, the ergonomic design also includes a self-centering steering wheel. The result is exceptional control and comfort. The excellent all-round visibility is complemented by a reversing camera. In the area of the free lift cylinder, the usual chains have been replaced with hoses to improve visibility of the load and fork tips.

The low seat height, which is actually the hallmark of forklifts with combustion engines, not only makes it easier for drivers to get on and off the truck, but also to switch from a combustion engine to a new electric forklift.

The design of the new Mitsubishi 60-120N(H) electric forklift trucks also makes maintenance more effective: the two 48-volt batteries are accessible without flaps for quick and easy battery replacement. Each battery can be easily moved with a counterbalance forklift or a simple pallet truck.
