Effortless ease... total control

Electric Counterbalance / 4 Wheel Pneumatic Tyres / 1.6 - 2  tonnes

Over 20 years of independent tests don’t lie. The single most important factor in increasing the productivity of a forklift truck is ‘driveability’. It results from a combination of cha­rac­ter­ist­ics that allow the operator to be at one with the machine. Almost without thinking. Entirely without surprises. Totally in control. This is what drives our designers... and now brings you EDIA EM - our latest series of 1.3 to 2.0 tonne, 48V, 3 and 4 wheel electric counterbalance forklift trucks.

Smooth, quiet and highly responsive electric steering, matched with user-friendly hydraulics, gives a sense of effortless control and makes operation a pleasure. Space, comfort, intuitively placed controls, easy access and clear views in all directions are built into the design. A host of safety features boost confidence still further – allowing your operator to focus entirely on delivering the goods.

Key Features

• Wet disc brakes are perfect for wet, salty or dusty workplaces, delivering virtually maintenance-free performance and producing no particulate pollution.

• Elec­tron­ic­ally activated parking brake is applied automatically whenever the operator leaves the seat and can be activated manually by simply pressing a button.

• Hill hold automatically prevents accidental rolling, even on steep ramps.

• FeatherTouch steering wheel maximises control, confidence and comfort, thanks to small size, low-effort operation and force feedback.

• Cornering Control System (CCS) sets appropriate limits for any turning angle.

• Market-leading ErgoCentric design results in large, flat, uncluttered floor space, exceptionally large ‘entry window’ with deep, wide step and convenient grab bar, user-friendly controls, practical layout and great all-round visibility.

• Multi-function colour display provides highly visible readouts, even in bright sunlight, keeping operator fully informed of programmed settings, performance, conditions and faults.

• Rapid lateral battery exchange option for multishift or heavy duty applications allows simple, quick, safe removal and replacement.

• IPX4 waterproofing includes IP54 specification as standard for drive and hydraulic motors, allowing operation even in splashing water and wind-blown rain.

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

• Wet disc brakes are perfect for wet, salty or dusty workplaces, delivering virtually maintenance-free performance and producing no particulate pollution.

• Elec­tron­ic­ally activated parking brake is applied automatically whenever the operator leaves the seat and can be activated manually by simply pressing a button.

• Hill hold automatically prevents accidental rolling, even on steep ramps.

• Cornering Control System (CCS) sets appropriate limits for any turning angle.

Drive 

• Efficient drive (and lift) motors combine with strong regenerative braking and advanced electric steering technology to minimise energy consumption and extend shifts.

Electrical and control systems 

• Simple performance settings include five pre-set modes for instant programming by the driver.

• Full pro­gramm­abil­ity and diagnostics via laptop connection allows precise adjustment of many parameters by service engineer to meet the exact needs of each operator and application.

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

• Versatile battery compartment accommodates DIN size batteries with a variety of capacities, for maximum compatibility with user’s equipment and needs.

• Rapid lateral battery exchange option for multishift or heavy duty applications allows simple, quick, safe removal and replacement.

• Bright white halogen lights or optional LED lights - front and rear - deliver ‘see-and-be-seen’ safety.

Frame and body 

• Low centre of gravity ensures the best residual capacities in the market.

Hydraulics 

• Reliable lift (and drive) motors have been proven to withstand intensive work in the most demanding of applications without breakdown.

Mast and fork assembly 

• Exceptional visibility through a wide range of high-strength, clear-view masts allows handling with total confidence.

Operator compartment and controls 

• Low-noise technology reduces average sound level at operator’s ear to a market-leading 66 dB(A) for 3 wheel and 67 dB(A) for 4 wheel models.

• Ergonomic hydraulic levers give a strong sense of touch, as well as control of speed, even if operator wears gloves.

• FeatherTouch steering wheel maximises control, confidence and comfort, thanks to small size, low-effort operation and force feedback.

• High-quality VersaCab factory-fitted panel cabin options include unique, award-winning, hi-vis overhead guard roof, glass windows with wash/wipe, PVC or steel doors and heating.
