Mitusbishi and Nichiyu 4-Wheel Battery Electric Counterbalance Forklifts

The Mitsubishi and Nichiyu FBCB series of 4-wheel electric counterbalance forklifts range is now available with a choice of nine models. The series has an updated, modern looking design and capacities ranging from 1000 to 3500 kg.

With the combination of a wide variety of optional features and a waterproof rating of IPX4, the FBCB forklifts range is designed to provide users with an electric truck that will work across all platforms of light- and heavy-duty work cycles to help ensure reliability and a consistent operation.

Even throughout long shifts, drivers can stay comfortable in the 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 FBCB series is designed to allow for increased operator confidence when travelling, cornering and lifting with intuitive speed control. It can keep travel consistent on inclines, responding as if it were driving on a flat surface.

A choice of operation modes can be customised 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 even more efficient, extending working hours per charge (up to 11.5 hours) while also reducing running costs. If the FBCB series is left idling with no operation for 15 minutes, an 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 user requirements. PIN code entry can be enabled at an administrator level to allow tight control over its operation.
