Different tyres, same technology
August 1st 2007 Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks
has followed up the launch
of its FBN series four wheel
electric counterbalance by
introducing a cushion tyre
truck that shares much of
the same technology, the
FBC15-30N series.
Cushion tyres allow a
more compact design for
the truck's chassis. The
resulting small dimensions,
together with responsive
hydrostatic power steering
and high stability, are said to
make the FBC15-30N highly
manoeuvrable and
productive – even in the
tightest of spaces.
An advanced controller
allows the truck to be
programmed to meet the
needs of each driver and
application, it includes
controlled rollback.
The mast channels are
narrow but deep. The hoses
and chains are positioned
behind the mast channels,
and angled at 45º to take
them out of the driver's
view. The fork carriage has a
square structure, minimising
obstruction, and the shape
of the cross members
increases torsion strength. More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
