Famed for their sheer durability, Mitsubishi FD series trucks are built to uncompromising standards - for high performance... and lasting performance. Operating costs are minimised, thanks to quality components, low-maintenance design and easy service access.
The rugged chassis with planetary final drives and fully floating powertrain ensures smooth yet powerful operation. And because the entire powertrain is manufactured entirely in-house, balance and compatibility are assured. Meanwhile, continuous Mitsubishi research and development in the field of ergonomics has resulted in driver-friendly features that enable productivity to be maintained through the longest of shifts.
Ergonomic design ensures operator comfort for high productivity.
High-efficiency, low-emission engines meet all environmental legislation.
Robust mast design maximises visibility and safety whilst accommodating the stresses imposed by wide loads.
Responsive hydrostatic steering provides precise handling with low driver effort.
Auto-shift transmission enables automatic gear change for easier driving and less risk of damage to gearbox.
Large operating compartment offers plenty of overhead clearance.
Fully adjustable suspension seat accommodates drivers of any height and weight.

Integrated Presence System
IPS/IPS2
Inbuilt safety
IPS is standard on this series.
Two versions of our pioneering Integrated Presence Systems (IPS and IPS2) feature in the current model range. Both prevent all truck and mast movement if the operator is not seated, as well as giving essential warnings.
IPS2 adds an electronic parking brake - applied automatically if the seat is empty and manually via a button on the dashboard.
Functions in detail:
lockouts
prevent accidental lifting, lowering, tilting and travel
automatic warnings
remind driver to fasten seatbelt and apply parking brake
electronic parking brake (IPS2 only)
is automatically applied when driver leaves seat
Ergonomic hydraulic levers
User-friendly lever design
Productivity within easy reach
Ergonomic hydraulic levers are standard on this series.
Designers at Mitsubishi understand that high productivity depends on the combination of high-quality engineering and a comfortable, confident operator who is totally in control. Our user-focused truck design puts the needs of the operator at the heart of all product development.
Although Mitsubishi has been a pioneer in the development of fingertip hydraulic control units, we recognise that many users still prefer levers instead. Our hydraulic control lever design, along with other carefully positioned controls, reduces driver fatigue and increases precision.
The latest version offers:
compact size
for easy, short movements
ergonomic location
to the right of operator for easy reach
easy-grip shape and responsive action
giving a strong sense of touch, even if the operator is wearing thick gloves
Fingertip hydraulic control
Integrated controls and armrest
The best just gets better
Fingertip hydraulic control is optional on this series.
When Mitsubishi developed its first fingertip control units nearly two decades ago, its designers were able to draw on a strong heritage in fly-by-wire technology gained through its aerospace activities.
Today, after many generations of design improvements, the award-winning Mitsubishi fingertip control system is considered by many to be the best in the materials handling industry. Ideal for applications where precise control and the ultimate in driver ergonomics are needed, it can even be operated using heavy, protective gloves.
The latest version offers:
fully adjustable armrest
ensuring optimum position and comfort for operator’s wrist
up to five fingertip levers
for up to four hydraulic functions
additional button commands
if required for other functions
programmable sensitivity
to meet the needs of different applications and operators
high-visibility emergency stop button
for added safety
Developed for outstanding performance, the award-winning range of Mitsubishi forklift trucks and warehouse equipment is built to a higher specification to maximise productivity and ensure utter reliability... whatever the application.
