Mitsubishi's New 8-16 T Forklift Trucks Realize World-Class Environmental Efficiency and Operator Comfort

Mitsubishi has developed a new line of large 8-16 ton forklift trucks that realize improved environmental efficiency and operator comfort. The trucks meet stringent emissions regulations with a common-rail fuel injection system and engine, reducing particulate matter and nitrogen oxide emissions by 40-50% compared to previous models. The trucks also feature a fully independent cabin for low vibration and noise, passenger vehicle-like controls for ease of operation, and improved safety, maintenance, reliability, and durability.

Forklift truck industries nowadays have heightened


requirements for easy operation, comfort, and conve-
nience, even for their larger-class vehicles. Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has responded by develop-
ing a large-class forklift truck (load capacity of 8 to 16
tons) with drastically improved features to meet these
requirements. The new vehicle has been on sale since
February 2007.
