Low level now higher spec
June 1st 2009 Mitsubishi has launched the
high-spec OPB20NE low
level order picker - featuring
F1 style steering wheel,
a massive driver
compartment and
rapid acceleration to
12km/h.
With a suspended
drive unit, a shockabsorbing
floor mat
and a conveniently
placed backrest, the
firm claims comfort
during operation is
assured. Chamfered
edges around the 40
per cent bigger walkthrough
space provide
a smooth but high-grip
surface for stepping onto
the platform. The entire
floor mat acts as a 'deadman
pedal', allowing the truck to
move when the operator is
in place.
The adjustable 'Formula 1'
style steering wheel houses
operating controls and can
be operated with one hand.
An advanced electric
steering system, with
automatic speed reduction
in curves and automatic
drive wheel centring, gives
precise control at all times.
This, together with a
compact chassis and small
turning circle, makes the
truck highly manoeuvrable.
Operators can also select
'walk-beside' mode – during
which the truck's electronic
controller sets a safe limit of
2.5 km/h.
Pin codes enable the unit to
be customised to individual
operator performance. More articles from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK: |
