Komatsu's MWPJ-3R

The European market has access to a new hand pallet truck released by Komatsu Forklifts that can be used standing or sitting.

The new MWPJ-3R series is capable of transporting loads in narrow spaces over long distances. The new series is available in two models - seating or semi-seating.

Angela Napoli, from Komatsu Sales Promotion Division, says the MWPJ-3R series is a new line, rather than replacing any other product.

"The introduction of these trucks to the market is an extension of Komatsu Forklift's range of warehouse trucks."

Both models of the MWPJ-3R feature sideways seating.

"The sideways arrangement of the operator is the most characteristic feature of these trucks," Napoli says. "It ensures good visibility for the drivers and the hand control is very comfortable.

"All the functions are in one hand and the side battery removal is available from both sides."

The seats are hydraulically cushioned and can be adjusted to three positions. The electric pallet trucks for seated or standing/seated operators are ideal for transport in any kind of warehouse - retail, logistics and other industries.
