Speed: Mitsubishi's new FG25N unit forklift comes with a 2.1 L engine that is capable of outperforming other rival's units with 5,000 pound capacity. It is available with an optional 3.0 L engine. The FG25N offers better lifting and lowering speeds compared to its competition. It has better fuel economy and provides a slight edge regarding acceleration than its rival.
Fuel Economy: The Mitsubishi forklift trucks always utilized less fuel per hour compared to similarly sized Hyster, Nissan and Toyota units on a European testing field. To be able to illustrate this point, the FG25N used around 1 lb. less per hour compared to the Hyster truck. This amount of fuel can add up to thousands of dollars over the truck's lifetime.
Mitsubishi's electric forklift trucks using AC or alternating current use thermal efficiencies and a lot of the other new technologies to produce high efficiency ratings. These are among the features that really make these units very popular.
Visibility: The designers at Mitsubishi make their diesel lift trucks while taking into account 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 particular design helps to reduce operator fatigue and enhances visibility.
Operator Comfort: On the Mitsubishi forklift trucks, the newly designed operator restraint system is made from steel-wrapped hip restraints with a foam material. This particular design provides more comfort and strength than competitors' units. The machines have seat belts which 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 workers would be able to show you the competitor comparisons and all their equipment competitive data. Salesmen could fill you in on things like the overhead guards, the sideshifter designs and the drive axle strength. They would be very happy to answer any other questions or issues you have and discuss maintenance intervals so as to help educate customers to make an excellent decision.
