Key Features

• Powerful AC drive motor  provides high torque - even at fast speeds - for rapid acceleration, great ramp performance and smooth, quiet, controlled operation.

• High energy efficiency of AC motors - together with highly efficient energy recycling through strong regenerative braking - means longer shifts and less recharging.

• Automatic speed reduction reduces risk of overturning loaded truck while cornering.

• Fully hydrostatic steering means precise control with minimal effort.

• Excellent man­oeuvr­abil­ity and stability plus minimal emissions make these trucks ideal for both indoor and outdoor operations.

• Automatically applied park brake and anti-rollback system ensures operator safety on ramps.

• Wet disc brakes - and highly efficient regenerative braking - mean effective control and minimal brake wear.

• Powerful AC hydraulic motor provides high torque for rapid but smooth - and controlled - lifting and lowering.

• Advanced MOSFET controller adjusts acceleration, travel speed, lift/lower speed and braking to suit the load, application and driver - for great versatility.

• Long service interval reduces cost of ownership and increases productivity.

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

• Automatically applied park brake and anti-rollback system ensures operator safety on ramps.

• Wet disc brakes - and highly efficient regenerative braking - mean effective control and minimal brake wear.

Drive 

• Powerful AC drive motor  provides high torque - even at fast speeds - for rapid acceleration, great ramp performance and smooth, quiet, controlled operation.

• High energy efficiency of AC motors - together with highly efficient energy recycling through strong regenerative braking - means longer shifts and less recharging.

• Automatic speed reduction reduces risk of overturning loaded truck while cornering.

Electrical and control systems 

• Advanced MOSFET controller adjusts acceleration, travel speed, lift/lower speed and braking to suit the load, application and driver - for great versatility.

• On-board diagnostics and fault memory folder keep operator and service engineer aware of any problems, speed up servicing and help prevent damage.

Frame and body 

• Robust frame offers exceptional durability in all working conditions.

• Low centre of gravity means stable, safe operation.

• Stylish overhead guard gives better strength and protection, and allows quick, easy, secure fitting of cabin panels.

Hydraulics 

• Powerful AC hydraulic motor provides high torque for rapid but smooth - and controlled - lifting and lowering.

Mast and fork assembly 

• Exceptional visibility  - through the revolutionary high-strength, clearview mast - maximises driver safety and output.

• Backrest as standard  aids load stability.

Operator compartment and controls 

• Low step - together with non-slip surfaces, grab handle and rounded overhead guard - gives easy on-off access from both sides.

• Full-suspension, fully adjustable seat - with hip restraints and belt - keeps driver safe, comfortable and alert through the longest of shifts.

• Ergonomic operator compartment with adjustable steering column and advanced joystick hydraulic control unit, integrated into fully adjustable, comfortable armrest, reduces driver fatigue and increases precision.

• Emergency switch instantly shuts down the truck in emergencies.

• Auto-style pedals are easy to use - and give good control without leg strain.

• Clear display alerts drivers and service engineers to potential problems - helping to avoid damage and encourage maintenance.

Steering system 

• Fully hydrostatic steering means precise control with minimal effort.

• Brushless DC steering motor - the most efficient unit for this application - gives a perfect balance between efficiency and economy.

• Excellent man­oeuvr­abil­ity and stability plus minimal emissions make these trucks ideal for both indoor and outdoor operations.

Other features 

• Long service interval reduces cost of ownership and increases productivity.

• Maintenance-free wet disc brakes and AC motors reduce service costs.

• Rapid access features give quick and easy entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.

Options include 

• Range of factory-fitted panel cabins 

• Integral side shifter 

• Lighting kit 

• DC/DC converter 

• Non-marking and cushion tyres 

• Fingertip hydraulic control
