Client: New Customer in Manchester
Industry: Warehousing & Logistics
Product: Mitsubishi FB35 Electric Forklift
The Challenge
A new Manchester-based customer approached Jofson seeking a forklift that could operate efficiently in challenging conditions. Their warehouse and loading areas frequently encountered wet and greasy surfaces, leading to traction issues with standard forklifts. This lack of grip decreased productivity, safety concerns, and potential damage to goods.
The Solution
Jofson supplied the customer with the Mitsubishi FB35, an advanced electric forklift designed for durability and efficiency. This model was fitted with an electric differential lock, a key feature that significantly enhances traction by distributing power evenly between both drive wheels when engaged. This capability provides superior grip, making it an ideal solution for environments with slippery or uneven surfaces.
Key Benefits for the Customer
- Increased Traction & Stability – The Electric Differential Lock ensures better control on wet and greasy surfaces, reducing the risk of skidding.
- Enhanced Safety – Operators feel more confident manoeuvring the forklift, especially when handling heavy or high-stacked loads.
- Improved Productivity – The forklift’s ability to maintain consistent performance in challenging conditions means fewer delays and a more efficient workflow.
- Energy Efficiency – The Mitsubishi FB35 is an electric model that contributes to a greener operation while maintaining powerful performance.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs – With fewer instances of wheel slip and skidding, wear and tear on tyres and mechanical components is minimised, lowering maintenance expenses.
Customer Feedback
The customer reported immediate improvements in their warehouse operations. The enhanced traction allowed for smoother material handling, even in their most problematic areas. Operators noted a significant difference in forklift control, particularly when navigating ramps and wet floors.
