Switching from Mitsubishi LPG to electric
Switching from Mitsubishi LPG to Electric forklifts meant a higher initial investment, which was easily outweighed by a lower overall cost of ownership for JCI International. The other benefit of the Mitsubishi electric that was picked up straight away by the operator was the fact that as the truck is shorter than the previous LPG unit and coupled with Mitsubishi Four wheel steering, the truck is far easier to turn in a container and in the warehouse aisles, thus making things safer and easier.
Additionally, there are no brake pads on this machine; the electromagnetic braking system takes this requirement away, and the brake is always on until the accelerator is pressed, combined with an anti-rollback, which makes this truck ideal for container operations. As Mitsubishi offers electric, LPG, and diesel forklifts, we can carry out a free, unbiased comparison of the best energy/fuel choices for your operation.
