Electric Counterbalance FB16-20(C)N2 Series

To get the most from operator and machine our centralised system for AC control uses advanced intelligent control, plus the latest MOSFET and heat dissipation technology for maximum performance and energy efficiency.

Offering high power for excellent traction and ramp performance, it provides smooth, quiet and controlled operation, extended shift lengths and reduced maintenance requirements.

Developed for safety, Automatic Hill Hold automatically stops your truck from rolling while manoeuvring on ramps.

It activates as soon as the operator’s foot is removed from the accelerator – without separate switches or handles.

ErgoCentric describes our approach to meeting your operator’s ergonomic needs.

You’ll see this approach throughout the truck, but particularly in the operator’s compartment where providing spacious, uncluttered access and maximum visibility are top priorities.

Helps prevent dangerously fast cornering using intelligent speed reduction from the moment the truck enters the turn, rather than kicking in harshly midway.

Sensing the angle of a turn, speed is dynamically reduced at the start of and throughout the turn for smoother, safer, and more consistent cornering.

IPS2 prevents all truck and mast movement if the operator is not seated to prevent accidental lifting, lowering, tilting and travel. An electronic parking brake is applied automatically if the seat is empty and this can also be done manually via a dashboard button.

In addition, the system automatically gives operators essential warnings and reminders to encourage safety.

The fully adjustable, full-length ergonomic armrest allows for a more natural arm position and offers excellent support, reducing the risk of RSIs associated with intensive operations. A variety of control schemes can be specified to match different applications:

Features In Detail:

• Fingertip controls – Ideal for applications where precise control is needed, they can even be operated using protective gloves.
• Dual joysticks – These offer simultaneous functions for lift and tilt, and their settings can easily be customised to specific requirements.
• Ergologic joystick – This intuitive and highly ergonomic single joystick can control seven different functions, including lifting, lowering, reaching, and tilting.

To ensure maximum productivity at any height, this model is equipped with Passive Sway Control.

This feature dampens the elevated load motion that can occur when carrying loads at height.

Tried, tested and proven in the field, lead-acid batteries have been the long-standing choice for companies employing electric lift trucks. However, with long charging times, demanding maintenance requirements, the need for extra batteries, and high risk of operator misuse, it can be a challenge. Fortunately, there’s a new battery system on the block: Li-ion from Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks.

Designed to meet your business’ demands – including multi-shift (24/7) operations – without the need for spare batteries, our high-performance Li-ion battery system is up to 40 per cent more efficient than lead-acid counterparts. Plus, it’s virtually error-proof, thanks to its ultra-low-maintenance design which prevent cell damage.

Features In Detail:

• Exceptional, zero-emissions efficiency – 40% more efficient than lead-acid batteries and free from gases.
• Ultra-low maintenance design – Just a full charge each week to activate cell balancing, as well as an annual CSV export/update.
• No space required – With no need for charging areas, there's no cost for set up and you can keep your profitable space just that: profitable.
• Quick charge capabilities – Just 15 minutes is all your battery needs to keep your truck going a few more hours. (It only takes 1 to 2 hours to fully charge a completely discharged battery.)
• Higher sustained voltage – This ensures more consistent lifting and driving performance, which is particularly noticeable towards the end of a shift.
• TriCOM Technology – Helps to deliver exceptionally high system efficiency (up to 97%)

You have the choice of two intuitive steering options, each designed to deliver outstanding precision, comfort, and confidence in every movement. Whatever your operator’s preference or the demands of the application, there’s a steering system that fits perfectly.

Features In Detail:

• Conventional steering – Highly responsive steering automatically adjusts power assistance to maintain a consistently smooth feel — whatever the speed or intensity of operation. The optimised wheel size, light but firm resistance, and refined feedback ensure exceptional control, manoeuv­rability, and operator confidence at all times.
• Mini steering – The palm-operated wheel makes steering feel natural and effortless. Instead of constant arm and shoulder movement, operators can guide the truck with small, fluid motions of the hand. That means less strain, less fatigue, and more focus during every shift. In busy warehouses and narrow aisles, the result is smoother manoeuvres, greater precision, and consistently higher productivity.

Unique to EDiA, the patented full-colour display gives operators crystal-clear information at a glance. Bright, intuitive icons stay sharp from every angle — even in direct sunlight — so key data is always easy to read.

Perfectly positioned for quick reference, it keeps operators informed without compromising all-round visibility.
