Mitsubishi 3-Wheel Electric Range (1.3 – 2.0 Ton)

All FB-TCB series forklift trucks are installed with the innovative AC Power control system. It provides for more powerful and more advanced capabilities by integrating travel, hydraulic and electric power steering functions into one cohesive system.

The result: The operator’s interaction with systems and controls is optimised to a whole new level of comfort, control and function.

Forklift trucks that make for a good investment

While electric battery driven vehicles tend to have a higher upfront cost, they do pay for themselves in the long term. On average, it costs less to run an electric forklift truck than a diesel or gas powered vehicle. Electric forklift trucks emit absolutely no toxic gases such as CO, NOx or CO2 that can cause air pollution.

FB-TCB series forklift trucks are perfect for indoor applications where noise, pollutants or particulate contamination is undesirable or unacceptable. In addition, a battery-operated forklift truck has less maintenance issues when compared to its internal combustion counterparts.

Braking, Travel Plugging and Coasting

The FB-TCB series forklift trucks are designed for efficiency and equipped with advanced regenerative braking, which recovers energy drawn from the battery while “plugging” (using the opposite travel direction to slow or stop the unit). Regenerative braking also reduces wear on brakes, resulting in lower maintenance costs. This feature also provides for more sensitive, reactive braking for truck operators.

Another regenerative characteristic is when the electric forklift truck is put in a coasting mode – when the accelerator is released while cruising. The forklift truck converts the rolling kinetic energy into electricity and returns it back to the battery, while creative a gradual deceleration.
