Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has released two versions of its redesigned high-level order-picker, with one version capable of pick heights of over 11 metres (36 ft).

The 48-volt OPBH10NH can pick at heights up to 11.5 metres (38 ft) and the powerful AC hydraulic motor delivers fast lifting speeds. Mitsubishi says the lift speed and the maximum pick height are the fastest and highest on the market.

The 24-volt OPBH10N model with DC lift does not deliver the same speeds, but focuses more on ergonomic features.

Mark Jones, general manager of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK, says the company has added 26 new models to its line-up this year, "and this impressive machine fits in well with the comprehensive, up-to-date range of Mitsubishi warehouse trucks".

Both models feature the ergolift design, which means the cabin wall is thinner because the lifting mechanism is located under the cabin floor, making loads easier to reach.

The joystick-controlled machine has an inductive hand detector, which prevents use of the truck unless both hands are safely within the cabin. It cannot be tricked by placing an object where the hands should be because it responds only to flesh.

Both models also feature Mitsubishi's Visionmast system which provides a clear view forward when the truck is travelling with the forks trailing.

A PIN code starter pad linked to a new generation electronic-control system allows engineers to program a wide range of performance parameters using the truck's own display screen, avoiding the need for connection to a laptop computer.
