The Nichiyu-branded reach forklift truck, the Platter (load capacity of 0.9 to 4.0 tons),
underwent a complete model change for the first time in 12 years, and sales of the new model
commenced in January 2015. The new Platter was developed based on the main concept of "a
product excellent in terms of ecology and economy," and its energy saving performance, safety
performance, and basic performance of moving, turning, braking, and lifting were reviewed.
Furthermore, a function to establish the operating feel that the operator desires has been added in
response to the growing diversity of operators. The development was conducted targeting a product
that all users - from beginners to experts - can use comfortably for many years. This paper presents
the features of the new Platter FBR-80.
