Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks said its new FB16PNT-FB20PNT series of 3-wheel forklifts features a compact design. The forklifts are equipped with wet disc brakes for improved performance in wet or corrosive environments, electric power steering that provides improved energy efficiencies, and an ergonomic operator compartment that helps the operator remain productive throughout the entire shift, the maker added.
“We’re excited to offer this new series of electric 3-wheel forklifts,” said Chad Pauler, product line manager for Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks. “These compact forklifts are key products in the Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks lineup, providing our customers with a product that maximizes operator comfort and efficiency, and features a durable design that allows it to perform well even in harsh environments.”
According to the company the FB16PNT–FB20PNT series, designed for powerful performance and productivity in crowded and condensed work areas, offers the following features:
• Heavy-duty alternating current (AC) drive and hydraulic motors, along with powerful Mitsubishi PM-1000 controllers for outstanding performance levels.
• Sealed motors for added protection from contaminants, such as dust and moisture.
• As the forklift’s steer angle increases, the Controlled Cornering Speed feature progressively reduces the speed of the forklift, providing additional control.
• Enhanced ergonomics
• Flexible options, including pneumatic tires and a full-suspension seat; Cold Storage Modification for forklifts operating in refrigerator or freezer applications; and quad masts and sideshifters for increased productivity in dock-to-stock applications.
