Taking the bite out of the credit crunch
February 1st 2009 At a time when the future is looking so uncertain, the last
thing you need is unexpected bills. Fortunately, Mitsubishi
Forklift Trucks understands the importance of a 'sure
thing', which is why the company offers an unbeatable
5 year warranty package throughout the UK
Designed to minimise operating costs
in the short-term and protect against
nasty surprises in the long-term, the
warranty offers wide-ranging cover and,
more importantly, peace of mind for truck
users. It is described by the manufacturer as
being "as robust and dependable as the
Mitsubishi truck itself". What's more, the
warranty stays with the truck and not with
the original buyer – which helps to maximise
its secondhand value.
"We are very excited to offer this industryleading
warranty programme on our
comprehensive range of trucks," says Mike
Jones, General Manager of Mitsubishi Forklift
Trucks UK. "This is our way of showing that
we stand behind the reliability of our
products and strive to provide our customers
with a complete forklift truck package.
"Our trucks' reputation for reliability is
hardly surprising when you consider their
heritage. The Mitsubishi global
organisation is involved in the production
of everything from aeroplanes to medical
devices, spacecraft to ships and scientific
equipment to rally vehicles. The
uncompromising approach of its engineers
to quality and dependability influences
every aspect of our forklift development.
"But our trucks' reputation for
outstanding reliability is just half the story.
To fully benefit from that dependability, our
trucks and customers need to be assured of
excellent back-up as well. By carefully
selecting the dealers in our network, and
heavily investing in their training and
electronic systems, we are able to maintain
our position as leaders in product support.
"Our combination of exceptional products
and unrivalled product support is possible
only through the unique partnership enjoyed
by Mitsubishi as a global manufacturer with
a truly local dealer network. That's why only
Mitsubishi can offer such an extensive and
comprehensive warranty package."

A truly faithful forklift
After 25 years of service, most forklifts would be ready for the scrapheap. Then again,
as Manchester's Descaling Services can testify, most forklifts aren't built to the
standards demanded by Mitsubishi.
Bought in 1982, the firm's Mitsubishi FD20 counterbalance truck has been a true
workhorse. As the company's only forklift, its reliability and easy serviceability aren't
just desirable qualities – they are absolutely vital. Working with corrosive pickling acids
and chemical descalers may have affected the FD20's looks, but that's not a problem
for Assistant Works Engineer Paul Warburton.
"She might not look very good on the outside, but it's not looks that count. Our
Mitsubishi has been long-lasting, strong and robust. She's put to the test every day and
– looks or no looks – she always passes. She's a real pleasure to drive – easy to
manoeuvre, dependable and still comfortable after all these years. She's definitely
taken a lot of the hard work out of our lives.
"When it comes time to think about replacing our FD20, we will definitely stick with
Mitsubishi. There's no reason to go anywhere else." More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
