Mitsubishi introduces three new models
Houston, TX, United States
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has introduced the FB16NT-FB20NT series of AC-powered, three-wheel electric forklifts.

The three models, available in load capacities ranging from 3,000lbs to 4,500lbs (1,361kg to 2,041kg), offer hydrostatic steering and Mitsubishi's safety feature, the integrated presence system (IPS).

IPS detects whether a driver is correctly seated and, if not, prevents all hydraulic movement. It also stops lowering, lifting, tilting and truck travel.
