The effectiveness and legendary reliability of Mitsubishi 4 and 5 tonne IC engine forklift trucks has been proved over many years in the most demanding of applications. Generations of forklift truck owners have grown to love and depend upon these tough and highly capable machines. GRENDIA EX builds on those exceptional qualities. Environmentally friendly, and with the quality, reliability and investment value you would associate with diamonds, its name - meaning ‘Green Diamond’ - is truly deserved.
Low noise and vibration, a comfortable operating environment and the latest ErgoCentric developments in steering, hydraulic and other controls will all be welcomed by operators. Meanwhile, the IPS2 Integrated Presence System and advanced brake systems will help ensure that they stay safe. And as always, every system and component has been designed and chosen to minimise downtime and maintenance costs.
Stylish, purposeful design reflects this machine’s power to work productively, non-stop, whatever the conditions.
Advanced LPG engine with 3-way catalytic converter delivers precisely controlled performance, great fuel economy and very low emissions.
Fully floating powertrain with two-speed forward and one-speed reverse transmission maximises gradeability and travel speed, minimises noise and vibration, and uses maintenance-free gears instead of belts to lower running costs.
Market-leading ErgoCentric design results in easy on-off access, a unique, adjustable steering column with position memory, user-friendly controls, a practical layout and great all-round visibility - for maximum precision and productivity.
Strong, high-visibility mast allows handling of heavy loads in tough environments with total confidence.
Wide range of high-quality masts and attachments delivers precise compatibility and an ideal configuration for each application.
RapidAccess features give unequalled ease of entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.
Integrated Presence System 2 (IPS2) pioneered by Mitsubishi prevents all movement of the truck and its mast if the operator is not seated.
Hydraulic control levers are easy to reach and easy to use.
Brakes
Powerful drum brake system gives excellent control with little effort and is easy to maintain.
Electronically controlled parking brake allows safe, effective immobilisation of the truck with minimum effort - and without restricting knee and leg movement.
Drive
Advanced LPG engine with 3-way catalytic converter delivers precisely controlled performance, great fuel economy and very low emissions.
Fully floating powertrain with two-speed forward and one-speed reverse transmission maximises gradeability and travel speed, minimises noise and vibration, and uses maintenance-free gears instead of belts to lower running costs.
Adjustable transmission shift timing increases versatility, for optimum performance in a wide variety of applications.
Large diameter drive axle shafts are extremely durable and require little maintenance.
Low-noise air intake connects directly to intake filter for easy flow and quiet performance.
Electrical and control systems
Integrated Presence System 2 (IPS2) pioneered by Mitsubishi prevents all movement of the truck and its mast if the operator is not seated.
Operator identification system can be activated - if owner wishes - to prevent unauthorised use of the truck.
Onboard diagnostics and detailed fault diagnosis via laptop connection alerts operators and service engineers to problems, speeds up servicing and prevents damage.
Frame and body
Stylish, purposeful design reflects this machine’s power to work productively, non-stop, whatever the conditions.
Robust construction provides high stability, rigidity and protection, with no exposed wires or hoses.
Hydraulics
Powerful hydraulic system is specifically designed to minimise noise in the operator's environment.
Mast and fork assembly
Strong, high-visibility mast allows handling of heavy loads in tough environments with total confidence.
Wide range of high-quality masts and attachments delivers precise compatibility and an ideal configuration for each application.
Operator compartment and controls
Market-leading ErgoCentric design results in easy on-off access, a unique, adjustable steering column with position memory, user-friendly controls, a practical layout and great all-round visibility - for maximum precision and productivity.
Full-suspension seat with hip support keeps driver comfortable through the longest of shifts.
Hydraulic control levers are easy to reach and easy to use.
Automotive-style pedals with optimum pedal angle are easy to use and give good control without leg strain.
Low noise level at operator’s ear and low vibration from powertrain increases comfort and reduces fatigue.
Clear and comprehensive instrument panel with LCD display keeps operator and manager fully informed of, for example, speed, time, engine hours, service intervals and faults - to optimise productivity, truck life and safety.
Steering system
Fully hydrostatic steering is responsive, precise and effortless for the operator and requires only minimal maintenance.
Other features
Long service interval and long life of components reduces downtime and associated costs.
RapidAccess features give unequalled ease of entry to all areas for checks and maintenance.
Options include
Oil-cooled wet disc brakes and FlexControl intelligent truck protection package
VersaCab range of panel cabins
Fingertip hydraulic controls
Rear grip with integrated horn button
Load weight indicator
Overload indicator
Speed limiter
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.
