The new Mitsubishi PREMIA ES pedestrian power pallet truck has been awarded the prestigious red dot award: product design 2012 for its high-quality, functional design.

A jury of 30 international experts honored the hard-wearing pallet truck, selected from a field of more than 4,500 products, representing 1800 companies from 58 countries.

Driven by the need for non-stop performance in the most challenging conditions, Mitsubishi designers paid special attention to durability and efficiency issues when developing the water-resistant 1.6 to 2.0 tonne pallet trucks.

For outdoor operation in all weather, PREMIA ES features a sealed chassis which offers protection to key components against water, dirt, dust and other particles. The truck’s high-efficiency electronic system also uses waterproofed components, for maximum reliability. Further protection against damage is offered by its shock-resistant oil-filled transmission and robust fork design.

The low-maintenance design offers further costs savings for truck owners by offering a choice of two performance modes – as standard – to enhance safety, energy efficiency and productivity.
