Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has introduced the ESR 15N-Generation electric 24V reach truck, its new generation of reach trucks.

The forklifts feature alternating current (AC) traction, heavy-duty masts with pantograph design and ergonomic operator control handles.

Mitsubishi said the forklift was designed to meet today's high demands of warehouse management. Configurations include single reach, deep reach and straddle chassis with capacities ranging from 2,500lbs (1,134kg) to 4,000lbs (1,814kg).

The AC traction enabled rapid acceleration, precise speed control and handling, and smooth directional changes that made load-handling more efficient.

Operator fatigue was reduced by low-effort steering that allowed precise control and a multifunctional control handle with a rounded palm rest allowed operators to work up to three functions simultaneously, the company said in a statement.

Every Mitsubishi reach truck has a hydraulic mast and pantograph cushioning, shim-adjustable canted mast rollers and heavy, interlocking mast rails.
