Speed: Mitsubishi's brand new FG25N model forklift is available with a 2.1 L engine that is capable of outperforming other rival's model's with 5,000 pound capacity. It comes with a 3.0 L engine that is optional. The FG25N provides better lowering and lifting speeds compared to its rival. It has better fuel economy and provides a slight edge regarding acceleration compared to its competition.
Fuel Economy: On a European testing field, the Mitsubishi lift truck has always shown less fuel per hour compared to similarly sized Toyota, Hyster and Nissan units. To be able to show this point, the FG25N utilized about 1 lb. less per hour compared to the Hyster truck. This amount of fuel can add up to thousands of dollars over the lifetime of the truck.
Mitsubishi's electric lift truck trucks using AC or alternating current use thermal efficiencies and many of the other new technologies to produce high efficiency ratings. These are among the features that 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 models, these features result in a narrow lift cylinder and wider free space between the masts on all new forklift trucks. This specific design improves visibility and helps to lessen operator exhaustion.
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 provides more comfort and strength than rivals' units. The machinery have seat belts that feature a comfort stretch elastic strap to facilitate operating the lift truck in reverse. The hydraulic levers which take much less energy to operate and the small maneuverable steering wheel contribute to greater overall comfort and help to lessen operator fatigue.
The Mitsubishi employees will be able to show you the competitor comparisons and all their machines competitive data. Salesmen could fill you in on things such as the sideshifter designs, the drive axle strength and the overhead guard. They would be glad to answer any other questions or problems you have and discuss maintenance intervals in order to help educate you to make a good choice.
