Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group, Houston, has announced its new series of internal combustion (IC) cushion tire forklifts. These IC forklifts are designed to offer productivity and fuel efficiency for indoor warehouse applications. 

The FGC35CN-FGC40CN IC cushion tire forklift model series was built to increase operational uptime, according to the manufacturer. The new series features an on-board, self-diagnostics display that can deliver immediate truck status, helping to streamline the process of troubleshooting, and an effective cooling system to aid in prolonging engine life.

Built with a compact chassis, these 7,000- to 8,000-pound capacity IC forklifts can perform efficiently in a wide range of indoor applications, from moving pallets and dock-to-stock to transferring loads across a wide variety of run distances, short or long, Mitsubishi says.  

“We’re proud to introduce the new Mitsubishi internal combustion cushion tire forklift series to the market,” says John Sneddon, executive vice president, sales and marketing, at Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas. “Our new Mitsubishi IC cushion tire forklift series provides the increased uptime, maneuverability and efficiency that our customers demand in today’s fast-moving warehouse environments.”

Powered by a GK25 internal combustion engine, the new Mitsubishi forklift truck offering provides power and fuel efficiency, the manufacturer says. The engine enables high levels of torque and horsepower while maintaining compliance with emissions regulations. The motor also is equipped with a computerized electronic fuel injection system, delivering high levels of torque at lower rpm, which can save on fuel consumption.
