Beyond the limits! Ecology and Economy P.03
Safety P.07
Comfortable operation P.05
The latest fruit of the long years of pursuit of the top quality electric vehicles on the
material handling scene, TCM FB-VIII Series electric counterbalanced forklift trucks feature
enhanced environmental friendliness and increased economy.
They meet the needs of the times, and provide better operator comfort and controllability.
This is attained by ergonomically designed controls and seating, and many safety devices
which help protect the operator from a variety of potential hazards.
TCM FB-VIII has broken through various limits in electric forklift technology to reach a
new dimension in electric vehicles.
