Ac power to the pac
March 1st 2008 With the addition of AC power and
new-generation electronics,
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has
upgraded the productivity of its
ultra-compact, 24V, three-wheel
FBKRT electric counterbalance
series.
Renamed as the FBKRT PAC
series, these 1.0, 1.25 and 1.5t
capacity trucks now offer more
power. The new truck has been
described by Mitsubishi as a
'crossover' product between the
counterbalance and warehouse
sectors. Its chassis is narrow
enough – at less than 1m – to fit
easily through narrow aisles. Its
low height (2015mm) allows the
truck to be used in drive-in racking,
containers and other workplaces
with limited overhead clearance.
It will turn circles within its own
dimensions and its hydrostatic
power steering – driven by the
hydraulic system – allows precise
and effortless positioning.
Operation is smooth, quiet and
controlled and the motors have
boosted acceleration and
gradeability to high levels. More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
