Speed: Mitsubishi's new FG25N model forklift is available with a 2.1 L engine which is capable of outperforming other competitors units with 5,000 lbs. capacity. It comes with a 3.0 L engine which is optional. The FG25N provides better lifting and lowering speeds compared to its rival. It has better fuel economy and offers a slight edge regarding acceleration than its rival.
Fuel Economy: On a European testing field, the Mitsubishi forklift has continually shown less fuel per hour compared to similarly sized Hyster, Nissan and Toyota units. To illustrate this point, the FG25N used around 1 lb. less per hour than the Hyster truck. This amount of fuel could add up to thousands of dollars over the truck's lifetime.
Mitsubishi's electric forklift trucks utilizing alternating current or AC use thermal efficiencies and many of the other new technologies to produce high efficiency ratings. These are amongst the features which really make these units so popular.
Visibility: The designers at Mitsubishi make their diesel forklifts while taking into consideration the opening between the mast channels and the free lift assembly. Compared to competitor units, these features result in a narrow lift cylinder and wider free space between the masts on all new forklift trucks. This design helps to reduce operator exhaustion and improves visibility.
Operator Comfort: The newly designed operator restraint system found on the Mitsubishi forklift trucks is made up of steel-wrapped hip restraints with a foam material. This specific design offers more comfort and strength compared to rivals' units. The machines have seat belts that feature a comfort stretch elastic strap to facilitate utilizing the lift truck in reverse. The hydraulic levers which take much less energy to operate and the small maneuverable steering wheel help to lessen operator exhaustion and contribute to greater overall comfort.
The Mitsubishi staff will be able to show you the competitor comparisons and all their equipment competitive data. Salesmen could fill you in on things such as the overhead guards, the sideshifter designs and the drive axle strength. They would be very happy to discuss maintenance intervals and answer any other questions or issues you have so as to help educate customers to make an excellent choice.
