Smooth operator
09 June 2014
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has announced the latest addition to its comprehensive range of warehouse trucks: SENSiA – an 11-strong family of reach trucks.
Typically, reach truck operators will mount and dismount their vehicle up to 100 times a day – which is equivalent to lifting 7,000 kg per shift. SENSiA’s low seating position (just 1,030 mm), ergonomic hand bars and a wide, no-slip step help reduce the effort required by operators.
Inside, the truck’s spacious cabin utilises pedals that minimise ankle stress, while flexible adjustment of the ergonomic armrest and full suspension seat lets operators optimise their driving position. The special design of the cabin – together with VisionMast, which was pioneered by Mitsubishi – also offers operators impressive visibility of the forks and the load.
Said to deliver the smoothest possible transition between stages, SENSiA is suitable for lifting valuable or fragile loads safely at height. SENSiA’s Sensitive Drive System (SDS) boosts driver confidence by ensuring drive movements are seamless, while firm, progressive steering keeps trucks nimble in racking, while stable at speed.
