Probably the most reliable trucks in the world
20 June 2013
Ask a Mitsubishi customer why he or she made that choice and you'll hear the same answer time after time: 'reliability'.With a strong reputation for product dependability - Mitsubishi is constantly re-defining the industry

Ask a Mitsubishi customer why he or she made that choice and you'll hear the same
answer time after time: 'reliability'.With a strong reputation for product
dependability - Mitsubishi is constantly re-defining the industry standard with
successive generations of IC engine counterbalance trucks, culminating in the
remarkable Grendia
Grendia delivers a choice of rigorously tested diesel and LPG engines that promise non-stop productivity. The family of 1.5 to 5.5 tonne high-spec trucks benefit from a number of advanced features as standard. For example, the latest Mitsubishi developments in instrumentation, diagnostics, operator identification and electronic failsafe equipment are all within the basic price of the truck.
Described as "a truck you can trust… absolutely", Grendia has been specifically designed to keep on working even in arduous conditions - maintaining customer productivity and minimising downtime. Everything from the frame, body and mast to the smallest bearing is designed to resist damage.
Throughout the truck,Mitsubishi designers have looked for ways to avoid wear and lower the cost of maintaining systems.
The use of maintenance-free gears instead of belts in the powertrain is one of many successful developments in that search.
RapidAccess features throughout the design speed up daily checks and servicing to minimise costs and avoid loss of productivity.
As a measure of its confidence in the reliability of its products, Mitsubishi offers its UK customers a unique five year warranty covering every major component - eliminating unplanned bills and guaranteeing complete peace of mind. As robust and dependable as a Mitsubishi truck itself, this warranty stays with a truck - even if it is re-sold - which helps to maximise its secondhand value.
"When you look at the true costs or ownership, Grendia makes great economic sense," says Mike Jones, general manager of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks UK.
"Grendia takes reliability and performance to even greater heights: setting standards that other manufacturers can only hope to follow.
"To ensure our customers gain full advantage of this dependability, our trucks and our customers need excellent backup.
That's why our Authorised Dealer Network has been handpicked for its high service standards - and it's why we have invested so much, and continue to invest, in the training and in the electronic systems that maintain our position as leaders in product support."
