Driver machine partnership

15 July 2014

The latest addition to Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks’s range of warehouse trucks, SENSiA, has been developed following a Europe-wide study among managers and operators of forklift trucks to pinpoint the key to optimum reach truck operations. As a result the 11-strong family of reach trucks has been designed to achieve the closest possible partnership between driver and machine.

Lifting up to 13m, SENSiA features fingertip controls with modulated pressure that responds naturally to the driver’s touch. SENSiA has two settings as standard: ECO mode keeps power consumption low and is ideal for new operators or extended shifts; PRO mode provides more experienced operators with higher performance – ideal for peak periods in the warehouse.

Typically, reach truck operators will mount and dismount their vehicle up to 100 times a day. Addressing this SENSiA’s low seating position (just 1030mm), ergonomic hand bars and a wide, no-slip step help reduce the effort required by operators. The adjustable steering console can be neatly folded away for even easier on/off access.

With lifting capacities ranging from 1400 to 2500kg, the new range comes in standard and high performance models and can be customised for a wide range of applications.
