Big Moves in Small Spaces

Dual drive motors turning in opposite directions, along with steer axle geometry designed for maneuverability, enable the FC Series sit-down counterbalance forklift to navigate tight turns in small spaces.

The short head length small turn radius allows for a larger battery in a small, nimble chassis. That means more power, longer runtime and more uptime, with reduced battery changes for multi-shift operations. When equipped with V-Force lithium-ion batteries, one battery can handle multiple shifts, reducing battery maintenance and even eliminating mid-shift battery changes.

Comfortably in Control

Operators of all shapes and sizes can achieve a personalized fit on the FC Series counterbalance forklift. With more headroom and leg clearance, operators enjoy easy entry and exit. Low effort steering, optional full suspension seat and multiple storage options provide comfort and convenience throughout the entire shift.

The optional D4 Armrest provides one-handed height and fore/aft adjustment for all-day comfort. It can be used with manual control levers or configured with one of four integrated bionic control options for precise truck control and efficient product movement.
