GRENDiA EX (DIESEL)

Counterbalance Forklifts, Diesel, New
The Mitsubishi GRENDiA EX FD55N3 is a 5.5-tonne diesel counterbalance forklift designed for demanding applications. Its Euro Stage V compliant engine delivers strong torque at low RPM, resulting in reduced fuel consumption and noise. The sealed chassis with a full belly guard protects the engine compartment from debris and minimizes dust-related issues. The Integrated Presence System (IPS2) enhances safety by disabling hydraulic and drive functions when the operator is not present for over two seconds, and includes PIN code access to prevent unauthorized use. Additional features like automatic LED lights and a high-visibility mast contribute to safer and more efficient operations.​

Integrated Presence System (IPS2)

Stops hydraulic and drive functions if the operator leaves the seat for more than 2 seconds, helping to keep the area safe. Built-in PIN access stops unauthorised use.

Sealed chassis with full belly guard and inner wheel covers

The fully sealed underside helps stop debris like shrink-wrap from getting into the engine. It also lowers noise and prevents dust from creating safety risks.

Sophisticated Euro Emissions stage V compliant diesel engine

Built for strength at low RPM, this industrial design delivers maximum torque with less noise and fuel use - giving you high performance without high revs.

Automatic Diesel Particulate Filter

The low-maintenance DPF keeps emissions cleaner than Stage V standards. It runs automatically during use, so there’s no need for the driver to clean the filter.

Electronic speed control

The advanced electronic diesel control gives you two adjustable speeds, a low gear lock for safer handling on rough ground or at height, and a soft-power mode to cut wheelspin, save tyres, and use less fuel.

Engine protection system

To protect the engine during overheating, the system responds in two stages - first by slowing the machine down, then by shutting it off if needed.

2-speed powershift transmission

The full floating powertrain is built to last, delivering strong, responsive performance with smooth, fuel-efficient control.

Automatic LED lights

Mitsubishi fits LED lights as standard for safer operation. They’re fully automatic, brighter than halogen, use no extra power, and never need bulb replacements.

PIN code access as standard

Standard PIN code access helps keep the work area safe by limiting use to authorised operators only.
