1.5-3.5 Tonnes GRENDIA ES

FD15-35N Series

About the FD15-35N Series

Developed to help your operator achieve maximum productivity, GRENDiA sets the highest of standards for IC engine counterbalance forklift trucks. No other forklift truck includes so many advanced features in its standard specification. That’s why GRENDiA is such unbeatable value for money. What’s more, its durable components, low-maintenance design and fuel economy will continue to keep down the cost of forklift ownership, year after year.

The name GRENDiA means ‘Green Diamond’: green for environmental protection; diamond for high quality, reliability and sound investments. Fast, stable and exceptionally powerful, GRENDiA forklift trucks offer a potent combination of high efficiency, low emissions and very low noise levels. To that, Mitsubishi has added a host of ergonomic features to maximise comfort, control and precision. The result is a forklift that can be relied upon to deliver top performance, whatever the application, whatever the conditions.

Key Features:

  • Advanced diesel technology lowers fuel consumption and ensures complete, clean burning – as well as low noise levels.
  • Integrated Presence System (IPS) prevents all movement of the truck and its mast if the operator is not seated, as well as providing a seatbelt warning light and parking brake alarm.
  • PIN code start-up with driver-specific settings is included as standard to prevent unauthorised or inappropriate use.
  • Heavy-duty clear-view mast offers market-leading vision of fork tip and load, for faster cycle times and reduced damage.
  • Robust construction has been designed and rigorously tested to ensure high stability, rigidity and protection.
  • All-round visibility together with ergonomic design and layout of all controls improves comfort, reduces fatigue, increases precision and raises productivity.

4.0-5.5 Tonnes GRENDIA EX

FD40-55N(B) Series​​

About the FD40-55N(B) Series​​​

Tough, reliable and built to work as hard as you do, the class-leading GRENDiA EX promises reliable, class-leading performance – whatever the challenges. Tried and tested in the toughest applications, this no-nonsense design builds on the successes of its predecessors – delivering optimal performance.

GRENDiA EX’s sophisticated Euro 3B compliant engines, coupled with its long-life design, keeps GRENDiA’s running costs and maintenance demands low – for maximum efficiency and productivity. Diesel models, for example, employ a unique, maintenance-free diesel particulate filter that automatically burns off soot during operation… preventing downtime and delays.

Green inside and out, GRENDiA EX keeps noise and exhaust emissions to a minimum, while delivering improved overall economy. An optional Flex Control package – including wet disc brakes – offers further savings. It protects the transmission and prevents wheelspin, while its automatic adjustable braking reduces wear on brakes and ‘hill hold’ makes working on ramps and slopes quicker, safer and more comfortable.

Key Features:

  • Stylish, purposeful design reflects this machine’s power to work productively, non-stop, whatever the conditions. Turbocharged diesel engine delivers the power of a 5.0L engine, with the economy of a 3.4L engine, while meeting EURO Stage IIIB standards.
  • Maintenance-free diesel particulate filter efficiently burns particulate matter while the truck is in operation – avoiding costly downtime.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Optional fingertip hydraulic controls with integrated, fully adjustable, high-comfort armrest (an award-winning concept) allows effortless precision.
  • Hydraulic control levers are easy to reach and easy to use.
