Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas introduced the FBC20Q-FBC40Q Series of mid-size electric cushion forklifts across North, Central and South America. The series is designed to deliver consistent uptime, lower maintenance needs and energy-efficient performance for warehouse and industrial operations.

The company said the FBC20Q-FBC40Q Series is built to provide dependable, high-performance operation, incorporating advanced AC motors and integrated assistance systems to give operators confidence, productivity and value for their tasks.

The FBC20Q-FBC40Q Series provides lift capacities ranging from 4,000 to 8,000 pounds, with lift heights up to 312 inches. Passive sway control improves stability when lifting at height, and high-performance drive and lift motors enable travel and lift speeds comparable to internal combustion models.

Maneuverability is a key feature, with a 100-degree turning radius allowing tighter turns— up to 14 inches shorter than some competitors— making the trucks suitable for high-density storage and narrow

aisles. Hydraulic controls are customizable, and operator comfort is enhanced with a spacious cabin and precise power steering. Maximum unloaded travel speed reaches 12.5 miles per hour, while simplified battery maintenance and replacement aim to reduce downtime.

The series combines Class IV performance with a Class I truck design, positioning the FBC20Q-FBC40Q Series as a mid-size electric option for operations requiring reliability, safety and precise handling.

CLARK Material Handling Company has announced the launch of its new S25 – 35XE Renegade Lithium Series electric forklifts. The S25 – 35XE Renegade models are designed to combine the performance characteristics of internal combustion( IC) trucks with lithium-ion electric power. According to the company, the electric forklifts are intended for both indoor and outdoor applications and are part of the CLARK S-Series product line.

CLARK reports that, compared to IC trucks, the S25 – 35XE can reduce total cost of ownership by 20 % or more due to fuel savings from CLARK Fusion Lithium Power. The company also states that service and maintenance requirements are reduced because the forklifts have fewer moving parts and do not require oil changes, filter changes, spark plugs or coolant changes.

The S25 – 35XE Renegade is available in 5,000-, 6,000- and 7,000-pound capacity configurations and is equipped with the CLARK Fusion Lithium battery system. The company states that the forklifts offer more than six inches of ground clearance and are capable of climbing grades up to 27 %. They are also rated to operate in rain at speeds up to 11 miles per hour. Optional features include enclosed cabs with heating or air conditioning.

According to CLARK, the forklifts provide up to eight hours of runtime and can support three-shift operations with opportunity charging. Full recharge time is listed at approximately two hours with no cooling period required. An optional onboard charger is also available.

As part of the S-Series, the S25 – 35XE includes updated ergonomic features intended to improve operator comfort, visibility and control.
