Instinctive driving... Legendary reliability... Lower running costs...

Every day, all over the world, people know they canrely on Mitsubishi forklift trucks. And you don’t buildthat many trucks without learning a thing or two.

So our signature model, GRENDIA, is beautifullyefficient.

You can spot our experience in those common-sensetouches that deliver a real difference to the way youwork.

See the uncluttered access that operators like somuch? It also makes daily checks faster and halvesthe cost of servicing. The six-roller design doesn’tjust make our mast strong, it delivers unrivalledvisibility.

We’ve taken the time to think it through. And the result is a truck that’s tougher...cheaper to run... an absolute joy to use.

Thousands love GRENDIA. We think you will too.

No wonder it’s theworld’s favouriteforklift.

Our most popular forklift range,GRENDIA means ‘green diamond’.Green for its low fuel consumption,low emissions and low tyre wear...Diamond because it’s tough, highquality and always a soundinvestment. No wonder it’s theworld’s favourite forklift.

Planning and practicehone your performanceand ours too.

It’s no coincidence that the teams who practice most arethe ones which perform best when the pressure’s on:there’s no substitute for the confidence of knowingexactly what’s going to happen.

High-performance forklift operations are the same. Timeand again, the operator who delivers is the one whoknows, with absolute certainty, how their truck willrespond.

At Mitsubishi, we’re experienced, too. So we deliberatelymade GRENDIA the easiest and most instinctive truck todrive.

Little things make a big difference – so the pedals have afamiliar, car-like layout – at an angle that’s comfortableto use all day. Visibility’s great all round, and the wholetruck is naturally stable and surefooted to use.

If you want fingertip controls, no problem: we pioneeredthem.

GRENDIA gives confidence. And that meansperformance.

Whether you prefer our proven fingertip control orergonomic levers, you’ll benefit from GRENDIA’sexceptionally precise command of all hydraulicsystems.

With a wide range of sideshift and other optionalhydraulic attachments, whatever your lo ad, you’resure to handle it with precision.

Precise control at yourfingertips

GRENDIA trucks are used extensively in high-pressure, shortshuttle industries like logistics and distribution. Their instinctive,

surefooted performance gives operators confidence to perform.


Unlike some trucks, GRENDIA really is designed todeliver reliability in the toughest applications.

At its heart is a truly industrial engine with chain drive asstandard – so there’s no time lost to timing beltreplacements – protected by Belly Seal, closed wheelarches and cyclone air filter as standard.

Service intervals are among the longest in the industry –but that’s not all. We’ve given GRENDIA uniqueRapidAccess servicing panels, cutting service costs anddowntime in half compared to leading competitors.

That design pays dividends every day. Daily pre-shiftchecks are faster, and so is routine maintenance. Onsome trucks, it takes 35 minutes to change a lightbulb.On GRENDIA, it takes just two.

Put simply: it’s good engineering. And we’re famous for it.

Tough, reliable andbuilt to work as hardas you do.

The Belly Seal, which is available on all GRENDIAmodels, protects against damaging dust.Comprising a belly plate and other unique sealingcomponents, the Belly Seal prevents the cycloneeffect, where dirt and dust is drawn into theengine compartment and recirculated into theworking environment. This helps GRENDIAdeliver a long engine life and outstanding serviceintervals.

Keep dirt under controlwith our unique Belly Seal

You’ll find GRENDIA delivering in some of the world’stoughest industries: concrete, building, agriculture and

more. They’re no-nonsense trucks: built to take a beating.


Where a workplace needs to stay clean, healthy andquiet, GRENDIA is the perfect answer.

The same Belly Seal that protects the engine from dirt,stops the truck spreading dust into the air anddramatically reduces engine noise.

In fact, with universal joint transmission and noise-reducing intakes, gears and pumps, GRENDIA isdramatically quieter than many other trucks: just 78dBA.

Emissions are low, too. A three-way catalytic converter,fitted as standard, cuts carbon monoxide, hydrocarbonsand, crucially, 95% of harmful NOx gases: a must for anytruck working indoors, near people or food.

To protect your environment, your stock and your staff,choose GRENDIA. You’ll be amazed at the difference.

Quiet, clean andalways looking afteryour environment.

Work clean with nocyclone effectThe combination ofGRENDIA’s high air intake,the Belly Seal plate andenclosed wheel archestotally prevents the‘cyclone effect’.

In trucks without this feature (like the one below),dirt is sucked into the engine compartment,forced through the radiator and cast into the air.GRENDIA’s Belly Seal stops this happening...protecting yourworkers andyour stock.

Some of the world’s most demanding brands trustGRENDIA for its clean, quiet, dust-free performance.


Quite simply, GRENDIA is one of the most cost-effectiveforklift trucks you can buy.

For some companies, soaring fuel costs are now a farbigger drain than the cost of the forklift truck itself. Notwith GRENDIA. Whether you choose diesel or LPG, itslean, managed performance gives fuel savings as high as40% compared to some leading competitors.

But that’s not all.

Service intervals are longer, and servicing faster andcheaper. Brake wear is reduced by weight savings. Evensteering geometry is carefully optimised to minimise tyrewear.

And, of course, the sturdy build quality improvesreliability, cutting down on expensive, unscheduleddowntime and repairs.

We don’t think you’ll find a truck that costs you lessto own.

Costs less to run. And run. And run...

The optional FlexControl protection packageincludes oil-cooled disc brakes for total operatorcontrol. During short shuttles, FlexControl delaysshifts from forward and reverse until speed dropssufficiently – reducing wear to tyres andtransmission. Operator confidence is raised withautomatic ‘hill hold’, auto-deceleration and an anti-wheelspin start feature.

Keep performance high with FlexControl

Whether you choose diesel or LPG, GRENDIA boastssome of the best fuel efficiency savings in its class.


Most forklift accident victims are colleagues on foot – soa safer truck is good news for everyone. And every littlescrape you prevent to the vehicle, stock or racking givesa direct benefit to your bottom line.

First and foremost, GRENDIA is built to be stable,minimising risks without gimmicks. And vision throughthe strong, six-roller mast is unparalleled: 38% morethan some other trucks, with fork tips and load in fullview.

Fitted as standard, an enhanced IPS2 system locksdriving and hydraulics down if the driver is not seated.You can even password lock the truck, to preventunauthorised use. For further protection, a unique,intelligent speed limiter – available as an option –improves safety and cuts costs while giving fullperformance on ramps.

You train operators to be safe. We just give them a littleextra help.

Think safety. It’s notjust the driver you’reprotecting.

All GRENDIA models provide their drivers with anexceptionally clear view to their fork tips – thanks toour unique mast design. Upward visibility isexceptional too, allowing drivers added security whenworking at greater lift heights.

All-round visibility makesa clear winner

Sensible, common-sense measures that make areal difference: GRENDIA works with the operator

to deliver genuine safety, not gimmicks.
