Mitsubishi FBCB 4-wheel battery electric counterbalance forklifts range

The Mitsubishi 4-wheel battery electric counterbalance forklifts range is now available with lithium battery power.

The latest addition to the range is the FBCB series, which offers a choice of 12 models with an updated, modern looking design and capacities ranging from 1000 to 5000 kg.

With a combination of a wide variety of optional features and a waterproof rating of IPX4, the range can work across all platforms of light- and heavy-duty work cycles with consistent operation. A range of battery and charger options including lithium power is available within the product range, where solutions can be tailored to suit the user application.

The range is designed to be comfortable for drivers with a spacious and highly ergonomic driver compartment. With a narrow dashboard, high-visibility mast, small steering wheel and optimised lever placement, all-around vision has been maximised for safety without compromising on control.

With a low centre of gravity, electric hydraulic power steering and curve control, the range is designed to provide increased operator confidence when travelling, cornering and lifting with intuitive speed control. The trucks are designed to keep travel consistent on inclines, responding as if it were driving on a flat surface.

Featuring customised control with a choice of operation modes, modes can be adjusted to meet the driver requirements associated with the operator’s skill level, workplace conditions and operator’s preferences.

An additional ECO mode can be selected to make energy consumption more efficient, extending working hours per charge (up to 11.5 h) while also reducing running costs. If the truck is left idling with no operation for 15 min, auto power-off comes into effect further conserving energy.

While the base model is highly suited to many different working situations, a wide choice of options and attachments is available, allowing the truck to be specified to meet the needs of a business. PIN code entry can be enabled at an administrator level to allow tight control over who can operate the fleet and adjust the operational characteristics.
