Choose from compact light-duty models through to 4.5 and 5.0 tonne forklifts for medium and heavier loads.

Full AC Performance

Maintenance-conscious AC drive technology supports responsive travel, lifting and regenerative braking across the range.

Visibility and Operator Comfort

Wide-view mast designs and ergonomic operator areas support clear load handling and productive daily use.

Configurable for the Application

Select cabins, side shifters, clamps and configurations for cold storage, explosion-protected or other project requirements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about electric counterbalance forklifts, model selection and everyday material handling.

What is an electric counterbalance forklift used for?
It is a general-purpose electric forklift for loading, unloading, pallet transfer, stacking and production support where the load is carried in front of the mast.
What capacity range is available?
MiMA's current electric counterbalance range covers approximately 1.0 to 5.0 tonnes across stand-on, three-wheel and four-wheel configurations.
When should I choose a counterbalance forklift instead of a reach truck?
Choose a counterbalance forklift for flexible loading, unloading and transfer work, including mixed routes. Reach trucks are more specialised for high-rack storage in warehouse aisles.
Can the forklift be configured for special applications?
Yes. Depending on the model, projects can include enclosed cabins, side shifters, clamps and configurations for cold storage, explosion-protected or other specialised environments.
What drive and safety features are available?
The range uses AC drive technology, with selected models offering electric power steering. Wide-view mast design and independent braking systems support everyday control and visibility.
What information is needed for model selection?
Share the load weight and centre, lift height, pallet or load dimensions, travel distance, gradients, floor condition, working environment and required attachment.
