According to Mitsubishi, the single
most important factor in increasing
the productivity of a forklift truck is
'driveability'. And this is the driving
philosophy behind EDIA EM - the
company's latest 3 and 4 wheel, 48V, 1.3
to 2.0t electric counterbalance series.
In developing EDIA EM - the 'Electric Diamond' - Mitsubishi designers have aimed to make its operation highly intuitive and give the driver a strong sense of confidence and control.
Driver-friendly features include FeatherTouch electric steering, which requires only half the effort of a conventional system and provides 'force feedback' to aid precision.
Comfort is enhanced by the smooth, quiet steer motor.
Mitsubishi is equipping EDIA with its IPS2 system, which prevents movement if the driver is not seated and gives seat belt and parking brake reminders.
