Nichiyu’s Rack Forklift Trucks, a series of lateral and front stacking trucks, has undergone full model changes, gaining more durability, environmental consciousness and advanced operational comfort.

The new 80 series boosts the durability of the mast structure with a centre guide rail, providing stable operation particularly at elevated mast heights. An advanced electric turret head drastically reduces energy consumption during shift and rotate operations, resulting in 12.5% energy savings when compared to the previous model.

Additionally, a new Eco-mode can further reduce daily energy consumption by controlling maximum performance such as travel speed and lift speed. Operational efficiencies are realised through an optimised control panel layout and operator or fork position interlock systems that prevent unintended operations.

Nichiyu’s Rack Forklift Trucks boast market leadership in Japan, with more than 5,000 units delivered since their first introduction. The new 80 series consists of nine models in 1 ton, 1.2 ton and 1.5 ton capacities, available in three different configurations:, standard (RFTL), long wheelbase (RFTL-A) with joystick lever-type or standard with triple-lever type (RFTL-T).
