Designed to perform... built to last

Diesel Counterbalance / 4 Wheel Pneumatic Tyres / 4 - 5.5  tonnes

The effectiveness and legendary reliability of Mitsubishi 4 and 5 tonne IC engine forklift trucks has been proved over many years in the most demanding of applications. Generations of forklift truck owners have grown to love and depend upon these tough and highly capable machines. GRENDIA EX builds on those exceptional qualities. Env­iron­ment­ally friendly, and with the quality, reliability and investment value you would associate with diamonds, its name - meaning 'Green Diamond' - is truly deserved.

Low noise and vibration, a comfortable operating environment and the latest ErgoCentric developments in steering, hydraulic and other controls will all be welcomed by operators. Meanwhile, the IPS2 Integrated Presence System and advanced brake systems will help ensure that they stay safe. And as always, every system and component has been designed and chosen to minimise downtime and maintenance costs.

• Market-leading ErgoCentric design results in easy on-off access, a unique, adjustable steering column with position memory, user-friendly controls, a practical layout and great all-round visibility - for maximum precision and productivity.

• Strong, high-visibility mast allows handling of heavy loads in tough environments with total confidence.

• Wide range of high-quality masts and attachments delivers precise compatibility and an ideal configuration for each application.

• RapidAccess features give unequalled ease of entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.

• Integrated Presence System 2 (IPS2) pioneered by Mitsubishi prevents all movement of the truck and its mast if the operator is not seated.

• Optional fingertip hydraulic controls with integrated, fully adjustable, high-comfort armrest (an award-winning concept) allows effortless precision.

• Hydraulic control levers are easy to reach and easy to use.

 

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 

• Powerful drum brake system gives excellent control with little effort and is easy to maintain.

• Elec­tron­ic­ally controlled parking brake allows safe, effective imm­ob­ilis­at­ion of the truck with minimum effort - and without restricting knee and leg movement.

Drive 

• Industrially proved diesel engine is ultra-reliable and durable, as well as smooth and economical, and easily complies with emission control regulations.

• Fully floating powertrain with two-speed forward and one-speed reverse transmission maximises gradeability and travel speed, minimises noise and vibration, and uses maintenance-free gears instead of belts to lower running costs.

• Adjustable transmission shift timing increases versatility, for optimum performance in a wide variety of applications.

• Large diameter drive axle shafts are extremely durable and require little maintenance.

• Low-noise air intake connects directly to intake filter for easy flow and quiet performance.

Electrical and control systems 

• Integrated Presence System 2 (IPS2) pioneered by Mitsubishi prevents all movement of the truck and its mast if the operator is not seated.

• Operator identification system can be activated - if owner wishes - to prevent unauthorised use of the truck.

• Onboard diagnostics and detailed fault diagnosis via laptop connection alerts operators and service engineers to problems, speeds up servicing and prevents damage.

Frame and body 

• Stylish, purposeful design reflects this machine’s power to work productively, non-stop, whatever the conditions.

• Robust construction provides high stability, rigidity and protection, with no exposed wires or hoses.

Hydraulics 

• Powerful hydraulic system is specifically designed to minimise noise in the operator's environment.

Mast and fork assembly 

• Strong, high-visibility mast allows handling of heavy loads in tough environments with total confidence.

• Wide range of high-quality masts and attachments delivers precise compatibility and an ideal configuration for each application.

Operator compartment and controls 

• Market-leading ErgoCentric design results in easy on-off access, a unique, adjustable steering column with position memory, user-friendly controls, a practical layout and great all-round visibility - for maximum precision and productivity.

• Full-suspension seat with hip support keeps driver comfortable through the longest of shifts.

• Hydraulic control levers are easy to reach and easy to use.

• Optional fingertip hydraulic controls with integrated, fully adjustable, high-comfort armrest (an award-winning concept) allows effortless precision.

• Automotive-style pedals with optimum pedal angle are easy to use and give good control without leg strain.

• Low noise level at operator’s ear and low vibration from powertrain increases comfort and reduces fatigue.

• Clear and comprehensive instrument panel with LCD display keeps operator and manager fully informed of, for example, speed, time, engine hours, service intervals and faults - to optimise productivity, truck life and safety.

Steering system 

• Fully hydrostatic steering is responsive, precise and effortless for the operator and requires only minimal maintenance.

Other features 

• Long service interval and long life of components reduces downtime and associated costs.

• RapidAccess features give unequalled ease of entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.
