Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has launched 6.0–12.0 tonne electric counterbalance truck, the largest electric model in the range. Built for heavy-duty operations including heavy industrial and engineering, oil and gas, timber, and ports, the new FB60-120N(H) Series sets new standards for manoeuvrability and versatility.

Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks models have long been known for their best-in-class ergonomics and legendary reliability. FB60-120N(H) is no exception.

With 4WS the front axle drive motors turn in separate directions, resulting in better grip and precise handling. The rear axle boasts a full 101-degree steering capability, with dual drive motors for instantaneous and smooth turning on the spot, reducing risk of damage to your site and loads. This tighter turning can allow you to cut 1.5 metres off aisle widths, affording you greater storage density potential.

H models feature Four Wheel Steering (4WS) which grants exceptional manoeuvrability, even in narrow spaces, and reduces tyre wear. Low Noise Lift features the quietest hydraulic pump on the market and contributes to an incredibly low overall noise level of only 65 dBA. Each model features a rubber-sealed cabin that minimises microvibrations and reduces noise in the cabin, making for a more comfortable, stress-free environment.

A low overhead guard option is available on all models — even up to 12 tonnes — allowing the truck to be used in container applications. Single-tyre models are also available for a narrower profile, so it’s simple to specify one of these trucks to do heavy work in confined areas.

These are just some of the features which Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks say makes the brand a favourite with owners and operators alike. The spacious, open cabin allows drivers of various sizes to easily find comfortable driving positions while benefitting from an extra-large low step to ensure that entering and exiting the truck is as safe as possible. This all helps to minimise fatigue on the longest of shifts to keep your operators happy, productive, and healthy.

Logisnext UK Ltd is delighted to announce that the brand UniCarriers is now replaced in the UK by Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks. This change is part of the European strategy of the company’s owner, Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe (MLE).

Since the acquisition of UniCarriers Corporation Ltd. back in 2017, Mitsubishi Logisnext Group has applied the strategy of ensuring that all wholly owned subsidiaries are taking Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks branded products to market in Europe. This project started in April 2021 and has reached completion with the UK subsidiary (Logisnext UK Ltd) rebranding on the 1st of January 2023.

Rebrand announced following business merger

The Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks brand has been available in the UK since the 1970s, supplied by an established dealer network. In January 2023 this supply chain is now enhanced by the introduction of the direct to customer organisation with the re-branding of the UniCarriers business. Since the independent dealer network and the direct sales operation have been serving complementary customer segments, we emphasise that customer communication will largely remain unchanged other than a change in brand. Together, these two routes to market aim to increase the Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks market share by providing tailored customer handling and service solutions.
