Cushion tired IC forklifts are redesigned

This issue's 'Product Focus' highlights recent additions to the forklift market as shown at press events and trade shows and from manufacturer's information crossing our editors' desks.

By Staff -- Modern Materials Handling, 1/1/1999

Internal combustion (IC) powered forklifts in 3,000 to 6,000 lb capacities with cushion tires have been redesigned by the manufacturer for greater operator comfort and increased productivity.

Operators climbing aboard these IC trucks (FGC15K through FGC30K models) will soon notice features such as a clipboard positioned for quick reference in an easy-to-read location; a non-tipping beverage holder; and two storage compartments.

The trucks' new seat cushion design offers improved thigh and lumbar support. Its profile is molded into the rear of the upper seat to provide arm support when the operator travels in reverse.

Synthetic rubber engine mounts limit engine vibration in the frame. Both sides of the truck have an open step for ease and convenience in entry or exit from the vehicle.

Under the "hood," there's a revamped cooling system relying on a square-wave radiator which combines the anti-clogging capability of an open-core radiator with the cooling capacity of a corrugated radiator. Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks 713-365-1406 Circle 425
