Trucks that deliver... in the long haul

Diesel Counterbalance / 6 Wheel Pneumatic Tyres / 6 - 7  tonnes

Famed for their sheer durability, Mitsubishi FD series trucks are built to uncom­prom­ising standards - for high performance... and lasting performance. Operating costs are minimised, thanks to quality components, low-maintenance design and easy service access.

The rugged chassis with planetary final drives and fully floating powertrain ensures smooth yet powerful operation. And because the entire powertrain is manufactured entirely in-house, balance and compatibility are assured. Meanwhile, continuous Mitsubishi research and development in the field of ergonomics has resulted in driver-friendly features that enable productivity to be maintained through the longest of shifts.

Key Features

• Ergonomic design ensures operator comfort for high productivity.

• High-efficiency, low-emission engines meet all environmental legislation.

• Robust mast design maximises visibility and safety whilst accommodating the stresses imposed by wide loads.

• Responsive hydrostatic steering provides precise handling with low driver effort.

• Auto-shift transmission enables automatic gear change for easier driving and less risk of damage to gearbox.

• Large operating compartment offers plenty of overhead clearance.

• Fully adjustable suspension seat accommodates drivers of any height and weight.

• Rugged chassis with planetary final drives and fully floating powertrain ensures smooth yet powerful operation.

• In-house manufacture of entire powertrain provides excellent compatibility of components, for high performance and low operating costs.

• Duo-servo auto-style brakes make braking smooth and safe.

 

Integrated Presence System 

IPS/IPS2 
Inbuilt safety 

Two versions of our pioneering Integrated Presence Systems (IPS and IPS2) feature in the current model range. Both prevent all truck and mast movement if the operator is not seated, as well as giving essential warnings. 

IPS2 adds an electronic parking brake - applied automatically if the seat is empty and manually via a button on the dashboard. 

Functions in detail: 

• lockouts prevent accidental lifting, lowering, tilting and travel

• automatic warnings remind driver to fasten seatbelt and apply parking brake

• electronic parking brake (IPS2 only) is automatically applied when driver leaves seat

 

Ergonomic hydraulic levers 

User-friendly lever design 
Productivity within easy reach

Designers at Mitsubishi understand that high productivity depends on the combination of high-quality engineering and a comfortable, confident operator who is totally in control. Our user-focused truck design puts the needs of the operator at the heart of all product development. 

Although Mitsubishi has been a pioneer in the development of fingertip hydraulic control units, we recognise that many users still prefer levers instead. Our hydraulic control lever design, along with other carefully positioned controls, reduces driver fatigue and increases precision. 

The latest version offers: 

• compact size for easy, short movements

• ergonomic location to the right of operator for easy reach

• easy-grip shape and responsive action giving a strong sense of touch, even if the operator is wearing thick gloves

 

Fingertip hydraulic control 

Integrated controls and armrest 
The best just gets better

When Mitsubishi developed its first fingertip control units nearly two decades ago, its designers were able to draw on a strong heritage in fly-by-wire technology gained through its aerospace activities. 

Today, after many generations of design improvements, the award-winning Mitsubishi fingertip control system is considered by many to be the best in the materials handling industry. Ideal for applications where precise control and the ultimate in driver ergonomics are needed, it can even be operated using heavy, protective gloves. 

The latest version offers: 

• fully adjustable armrestensuring optimum position and comfort for operator’s wrist

• up to five fingertip levers for up to four hydraulic functions

• additional button commands if required for other functions

• programmable sensitivity to meet the needs of different applications and operators

• high-visibility emergency stop button for added safety

Brakes 

• Duo-servo auto-style brakes make braking smooth and safe.

Drive 

• High-efficiency, low-emission engines meet all environmental legislation.

• Auto-shift transmission enables automatic gear change for easier driving and less risk of damage to gearbox.

• Rugged chassis with planetary final drives and fully floating powertrain ensures smooth yet powerful operation.

• In-house manufacture of entire powertrain provides excellent compatibility of components, for high performance and low operating costs.

Mast and fork assembly 

• Robust mast design maximises visibility and safety whilst accommodating the stresses imposed by wide loads.

Operator compartment and controls 

• Ergonomic design ensures operator comfort for high productivity.

• Large operating compartment offers plenty of overhead clearance.

• Fully adjustable suspension seat accommodates drivers of any height and weight.

Steering system 

• Responsive hydrostatic steering provides precise handling with low driver effort.

Options include 

• Deluxe cabin 

• Choice of masts 

• Sideshift and fork positioner 

• Air intake options 

• Hook and shaft-type carriages 

• Working lights
