Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks (Houston) is introducing its FBC15N-FBC30LN N-Generation of alternating current (AC) powered electric lift trucks. The AC-powered N-Generation lift trucks are engineered with an innovative PM-1000 AC control system featuring advanced MOSFET and thermal technology, both of which offer an advanced Integrated Presence System and deliver up to a 40% increase in travel speeds when compared to earlier DC-powered models. Offering 9 models with capacities ranging from 3,000 to 6,500 lbs, these forklift trucks are engineered to withstand the most challenging environments.

Committed to helping its customers reach maximum efficiency levels, Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has outfitted the N-Generation with five pre-programmed performance modes. Travel speed, lift speed, acceleration rate and regenerative and auto regenerative braking are quickly adjusted to match specific performance requirements. Torque and speed are controlled separately, allowing for optimum driving performance, such as improved speed control, especially on uneven surfaces. In addition, the AC drive system is designed to prevent heat-induced complications and downtime.

Mitsubishi new lift truck series also has interchangeable components and intelligent diagnostic software. With 500-hour service intervals, the time between service periods can double, reducing costly downtime and planned maintenance while increasing profitability.
