Mast
The channels are
designed with narrow
flanges and wide webs
to increase the inside “
window opening” for
good visibility without
sacrificing mast
strength.
Unique cross
member design
provides good torsion
strength and rigidity
with the mast raised at
full lifting height.
Hose and chain

routings on the
Duplex and Triplex
mast have been
positioned behind the
mast channels at 45
degrees angles
contributing to good
visibility.
Internal drain cylinders eliminate the external drain lines used on

previous models. This decreases the opportunity for hydraulic leaks
and removes further clutter from the mast.
Hydraulic cushioning softens the mast phasing during the lowering

of the mast. It eliminates the familiar clunk when the inner mast seats
during lowering.

There are eighteen models within the FD15-35NT and FG15-35NT

families. These eighteen models represent three different frame, five
different mast capacity designs and five different engines.
The FD15NT, FG15NT, FG15ZNT, FD18NT, FG18NT, FG18ZNT,

FD20CNT and FG20CNT are based on the same frame design.
Specific simplex (standard), duplex (full free lift) and triplex (full free
triple lift) masts are designed for these three models and include a
Class II carriage. However the masts for the 15 and 18 are not
interchangeable with the mast of the 2-ton compact. This trucks uses
different chains and a different carriage for strength reasons
All models are using pneumatic tyres as standard except for the 2-ton
compact trucks. The compact trucks are equipped with single solid
pneumatic tyres only. The FD models are using the S4Q2 engines
built by Mistubishi with 2.5-liter displacement. The FG models are
using the K15 engine built by Nissan. This engine is using a petrol
fuel system. The high power GPZ models are using the K21 Nissan
engine with 2-liter displacement.

CONFIGURATIONS
The FD20NT, FG20NT, FG20ZNT, FD25NT, FG25NT, and

FG25ZNT are all based on the same frame with only a change in
counterweight. Specific simplex, duplex and triplex masts are
designed for these six models and include a Class II carriage. The
FD models are using the S4S built by Mitsubishi with 3.3 liter
displacement, while the FG models are using the 2 liter K21 petrol
engine build by Nissan. The GPZ models are using the K25 engine
with 2.5 liter displacement built by Nissan.
The FD30NT, FG30NT, FD35NT and FG35NT represent the third

frame and also utilise specific Simplex, Duplex and Triplex masts
with a Class III carriage. The FD model uses the S4S engine built by
Mitsubishi while the FG models use the K25 engine from Nissan.
All FG models are using petrol engines, dual fuel is a price list option.

OPERATOR COMFORT
Low step
Entry and Exit
Operator area well finished Open step frame on both
sides of the truck will allow
Anti slip plates entry and exit from either
side if required. A step
Grab bar on overhead guard height of 455 mm and floor
height of 645 mm insures a
natural “step-up” and “step-
Rounded engine hood down” motion.
The front plate and tilt
cylinders are covered with
stylish looking plates made
of durable fibre. The covers
realise the operator feeling
comfortable while they give
a tidy impression. The tilt
covers prevent the operator
from being trapped between
the tilt cylinder and the
chassis.
Plastic fibre anti slip plates are bolted onto the surface of each open
step. These provide an excellent long lasting gripping surface for
entry and exit. The plates can also be easily removed and cleaned if
the surface should become packed with dirt or debris. The steps are
generous and covered with durable fibre plates that are a part of the
styling of the trucks.
The 150 mm grab

bar located on the
left-hand side of the
truck gives the
operator an easy to
reach aid in
entering and exiting
the truck.
The bar mounts to
threaded bosses, which are welded to the head guard leg. This
provides a solid grip for operators of all sizes.
The engine hood is rounded and angled to reduce the risk of

annoying leg contact during entry and exit.
- 17 -
OPERATOR COMFORT
Floor mat The operator compartment floor area includes a 4 mm thick rubber
floor mat with a raised textured structure for added traction and
Adjustable steering column comfort. Tilt cylinder location helps remove clutter from the floor area
and reduce the potential for tripping when entering or exiting the
Infinite adjustments truck. The integrated cowl cover gives the compartment a clean and
pleasing appearance, and prevents any wires or hoses from drifting
into the operator’s area and becoming a nuisance.
Tilt range 12 degrees
Memmory position Tilt Steering

A new design allows the steering wheel to be adjusted to any position
within the full 12 degrees of adjustment range.
This design is in contrast to a positive latch type with a limited
number of fixed adjustment positions.
The tilt adjustment of the steering column can be achieved by
operating the upper lever. Releasing the column by moving the lever
anti clockwise and fixing the column by turning the lever clockwise.
By pushing the yellow lever the column moves another 13 degrees

forward from its neutral (half way) position. This allows the engine
hood to be opened. After closing the engine hood the column can be
pulled back into its original preferred position. Hence the column has
a memory position.
- 18 -
OPERATOR COMFORT
Full suspension seat
Customer benefits of the Mitsubishi tilt steering wheel:
Infinite adjustment provides a comfortable steering wheel position for
operators of various sizes.
With 12 degrees of tilt range (5 degrees forward, 7 degrees
downward), the steering wheel can be easily positioned out of the
way to permit unobstructed truck entry and exit.
An easy to use adjusting mechanism on the left side makes steering
wheel adjusting smooth and effortless.
A front pivot point design provides ample space for the operator’s
knees when the column is tilted down.
The releasing mechanism with memory function helps the operator to
open the engine hood easily.
Full Suspension Seat

Operators and technicians will find raising the hood on the FD15-
35NT and FG15-35NT series is a quick and easy 3-step process.
First the steering column needs to be moved forward by unlatching

Hydraulic control levers
Optional mast levelling The cowl mounted hydraulic control levers allow the operator to
control easily slide their right hand off of the steering wheel and to the
appropriate lever. The individual levers are also designed so that as
a group they create an arc, which matches the swing of the
operator’s right arm.
Both of these features reduce operator fatigue and increase
productivity. Cowl mounted levers also stay within the peripheral
vision of the operator. This allows an operator to visually spot a
hydraulic lever without moving their head away from the truck’s line
of travel – an important consideration. The hydraulic lever knobs are
made of soft touch urethane, giving a gentle yet positive grip.
Optional Mast Levelling Control

Mast levelling control is offered as an option. When this option is
fitted the mast can be tilted in exactly
vertical position so that material
handling becomes more productive
and damage to goods can be
minimised to an absolute minimum. On
the tilt lever a button is incorporated.

The pedals are positioned at an ergonomic height in relation to the
floor area. In addition to that the pads are large in size providing a
comfortable feeling for the operator.
Pedal effort, the force required to stop a truck + load, has been
minimised by using a very effective layout of the pedal mechanism.
Double Action Parking Brake

The double action parking brake is located
on the left-hand side of the steering
column to reduce the clutter on the floor.
Pulling back the handle sets the brake,
while pushing the button and moving the
handle forward releases the parking brake.
Using double action parking increases
safety because the parking brake can not
be released accidentally while the operator
is getting out of the operator compartment.
The parking brake has a modern shape.

The advantage for the
operator is that the position
of the steering knob in
relation to the position of the rear wheels is always the same. A
hydraulic valve compensates for the hydraulic losses in the steering
gear preventing that the knob position changes in relation to the rear
wheels.
The steering knob its-self promotes high throughput since it allows
the operator to manoeuvre the truck very effectively.
Directional control
The directional lever is
positioned so that
operator’s can execute
directional changes and
keep their left hand on the
steering wheel at the

No visible welds Loads are applied to the
computer frame and the computer mathematically calculates the
stresses incurred by the frame. Once the stresses are identified,
Floating rear axle engineers can make changes to the frame “model” to eliminate or
reduce the stresses. This process is repeated until a desired frame
model is achieved. Then the actual frame is built and further stress
testing is done to confirm the computer results.
The complete frame assembly consists of

two side sub-weldments, a rear cross-
member and a front cross member. The
front cow is bolted to the frame.. A”unitized”
frame construction simply means all of
these sub-weldments are welded together
to produce a one piece frame weldment.
“Unititize” construction provides exceptional
frame rigidity and maintenance free
durability.
The hydraulic tank is located on the right
side while the fuel tank is located on the left
side of the frame. Both tanks are
completely integrated and are a structural part of the chassis.
The chassis is heavier compared to the previous model. Using more

material in the chassis has further increased rigidity, lowered the
centre of gravity and therefore increased the residual capacity.
From a cosmetic point of view a lot of progress has been made.

None of the welds are visible from the outside of the frame. This
gives a clean and neat impression.
On the Grendia Series a floating rear

axle design was adopted. Besides
reducing vibrations to the operator it
reduces peak loads to the chassis.
This will surely extend the service life

The pre-combustion chamber allows each cylinder to work at peak

efficiency regardless of load and speed. Fuel is injected first into the
pre-combustion chamber for initial combustion of the atomised fuel,
providing clean, complete burning in the main chamber. This
contributes to low noise, less emissions, and high fuel efficiency.
The strut-type pistons are plated for maximum durability and
reliability. At operating temperatures, they expand to fit the cylinder
perfectly, thereby keeping oil consumption low and power high.
The crankshaft is statically and dynamically balanced for maximum

reduction of engine vibration. This crankshaft is supported by five
main bearings to provide excellent strength and rigidity.
A distributor VE type fuel pump reduces noise, fuel consumption and

exhaust emissions in general. It especially helps to minimise
discomfort of the operator at idling speed by reducing noise.

because dirt particles kicked up from the
floor by truck operation usually fall back
down before reaching this height.
The air cleaner removes contaminants in

a two-stage process. First, vanes
surrounding the filter element create a cyclone effect causing large

COOLING SYSTEM
Radiator Radiator
The cooling system is one of the most important and often the most
burdened system on an internal combustion lift truck. It is usually
foremost in the mind of customers as they proceed through the truck
Optional CSQ type radiator selection process and analyse which lift truck is best for their
application. So it is essential to be familiar with the cooling system
Optional coolant level design, associated benefits, and options available for demanding
warning applications.
The standard radiator on the FD/FG15-35N is a corrugated type core

made of aluminium. The corrugated radiator provides excellent
cooling because of the large surface area exposed on the fins. The
distance between the horizontal water pipes is 8 mm while the
distance between the vertical fins is 2 mm.
This radiator has more fins per inch than
an open core radiator, but is more likely to
experience clogging problems.
The radiator has an aluminium core with
horizontal flow. The side covers are made
of plastic. One of the side covers includes
a heat exchange unit for the powershift
transmission. The advantage of having the
horizontal flow is that there is more effective area available for
cooling since the width of the radiator is less critical than the height.
The advantage of using an aluminium core is that it reduces possible
galvanic corrosion in the cooling system. This will reduce lifetime
costs long term.

Pusher Fan
The FD15-35NT/FG15-35NT series are using a pusher fan
arrangement. The cooling
fan is mounted on the water
pump and driven by a pulley
mounted on the crankshaft.
This set-up requires less
parts and maintenance

used on the previous model.
The air is drawn from under
the truck then pushed
through the radiator and

guarantees efficient cooling even in tough applications.
Optional high speed fan

An optional high-speed fan is available. High speed is obtained by
installing a pulley with a different ratio. Using the high-speed fan
results in a higher noise level and a cooler cooling system.
Expected results, coolant temperature -5 degrees, noise level +1.5

DRIVE TRAIN
Powershift transmission Transmission

The transmission utilises two hydraulically actuated oil cooled clutch
1 Speed forward pack assemblies, one for forward and one for reverse direction.
1 Speed reverse Each clutch pack consist of 6 separator plates (1 ton 4) and 5 friction
discs (1 ton 3) which transmit torque and motion from the input to the
Low noise helical gears output shaft. The oil cooled clutch packs are designed to dissipate
the frictional heat created during normal operation of the truck.
Electro-hydraulic directional
control
Both clutch packs are mounted on a single shaft within the

transmission. A single shaft design reduces the amount of power loss
through the transmission by minimising the “mechanical losses”
(bearing friction, component inertia, etc). This reduction of power loss
means lower overall efficiency
The gears of the transmission are helical gears instead of spur gears
on the previous model.
The helical gears have the following advantages:
Reduction of gear noise.

Better load distribution on the gear since there is always more than
one tooth engaged.
The transmission control valve incorporates a solenoid valve or

“electro-hydraulic shift” for directing oil flow to either the forward or
reverse clutch pack. This allows the use of an electric directional
switch. The solenoid signal is controlled by the VCM. If the operator
is not seated the VCM will not transmit a signal to the solenoid. This
is an important safety feature preventing accidents because the
operator is not controlling the truck properly.
During shifting, an accumulator valve ramps the oil pressure to the

clutch pack from zero to full operating pressure which engages the
transmission in the respective clutch pack direction.

This “modulation” of oil pressure allows smooth forward / reverse

Oil cooler effective manoeuvring, thus increasing efficiency and reducing
damage to load and property.
Torque converter A transmission oil cooler is located inside the radiator. The
transmission oil is continuously circulated through this cooler so that
Floating powertrain the heat dissipated from the clutch packs can in turn be dissipated to
the air via the radiator. It is important to keep the transmission oil at
the proper temperature in order to get full service life from the friction
discs and clutch pack assemblies.
The torque converter is located between the engine and the
transmission and connects the engine flywheel to the transmission-
input shaft. This connection is actually a fluid connection and
provides two important benefits. First, it operates as a fluid link to
smoothly transfer power from the engine to the transmission.
Secondly, when the engine works against a load, the torque
converter can multiply the torque sent to the transmission, providing
increased power on demand.
Floating Powertrain
The FD15-35NT/FG15-35NT use a floating power train. The engine
and transmission use unique rubber mountings that eliminate noise
and vibrations.
The powertrain uses 4
mountings, 2 on the
engine side and 2 on
the transmission side.
The engine mounting is
located between the
engine and the chassis
while the transmission
mounting is located
between the
transmission and the
front axle. The rubbers
are mounted in such a way that they reduce the translating forces
caused by the engine in a natural way.

Optional Dust Proof Breather for Front Axle

The front-axle has an open connection with the ambient. As front axle
oil heats up and cools down air has to be able to flow in and out of
the axle housing. In dusty conditions dust particles may enter the
axle oil promoting wear of components. An optional dust proof
breather is available to prevent this from happening.
Optional Torque Converter Oil Warning Lamp

A heat exchange unit in the radiator cools the torque converter.
Under extreme conditions like when the truck is operating with
insufficient oil or when the operator is driving with his foot resting on
the inching pedal over-heating may occur. For this purpose an
optional torque converter oil-warning lamp is available. This lamp will
light up when a certain transmission oil temperature is reached. An
appropriate sensor / switch in the transmission will control this lamp.
Drive Axle
The front drive axle is a full-floating design meaning shocks and
stresses transmitted through the wheels are absorbed by the axle
housing. Thus, the axle shafts transmit torque only to the drive
wheels, and are protected from load stresses.
The housing is a one-piece casting made to withstand high loading

day after day. Large flanges mount the axle housing to the frame.
The flange design spreads truck and load stresses over a broad area
to prevent cracking in the frame or axle.

Two pedal system Brakes

The two pedal brake system is a definite advantage for customers
Non asbestos linings who must operate their lift truck on an incline. The brake pedal
(located to the left of the accelerator) is used to apply the brakes

area by using the inching pedal (located to the left of the brake
pedal). When depressed, the inching pedal simultaneously applies
the brakes and disengages the clutch. When partially depressed, the
inching pedal allows
slow, controlled
acceleration or
“inching” by letting the
clutch slip as the
brakes are released.
The brake assembly is

a large 310-mm
diameter (254-mm on
the 1 ton models) for
increased lining to
drum contact area. The
brake shoes are made
of non-asbestos
material with very good
cold and warm frictional characteristics. This insures consistent brake
feel throughout the shift.
When the brakes are initially applied, the brake shoes are
hydraulically pushed out against the brake drum. At the point of initial
contact, the leading brake shoe (the shoe facing the direction of
travel) will have a tendency to turn with the drum. A self-energising
mechanism transfers this turning force from the leading shoe to the
training shoe. This essentially presses both shoes against the drum
with greater force and provides more braking force. The benefit of
self-energising shoes is that they reduce the amount of pedal force
required to stop a truck and thus reduce operator fatigue over the
course of a shift.
To eliminate the need for frequent manual adjustment of the brakes,

a self adjusting mechanism in the brake assembly keeps the brake
shoes properly adjusted for even wear throughout their entire service
life. This self-adjusting mechanism is activated when applying the
brakes in reverse direction.
- 47 -

Tyres reposition the shoes closer to the drum.
Pneumatic tyres A non-boosted brake system means fewer components to service

tyres competitive with other comparable trucks on the market – including
trucks with boosted brake systems.
Dual drive tyres
Tires
Pneumatic tires (PS/PS)
Pneumatic tires are used as standard tires on the complete

range except for the 2-ton compact model. Pneumatic tires
provide good traction and excellent operator comfort. They are
recommended for standard applications with reasonable floor
conditions where comfort is desired. Due to their deflection,
residual capacities are normally conservative in order to
guarantee safety
Pneumatic shaped solid tires (US/US)

Pneumatic shaped solid tires are standard on the 2 ton compact and
optional on the other trucks. They provide the truck with good traction
and good residual capacity. They are recommended in applications
with frequent tire punctures like
brickyards.
Dual drive pneumatic tires

(UD/US)
Dual drive tires reduce the
ground pressure, increase
residual capacity and increase
the width of the truck.
Dual drive pneumatic shaped solid tires (UD/US)

Dual drive pneumatic shaped solid tires reduce ground pressure,
increase residual capacity and increase the width of the truck.
Again where tire punctures and residual capacity or ground pressure
are a problem this may offer a solution.

STEERING SYSTEM
Full hydrostatic steering Hydrostatic Steering

The low maintenance full hydrostatic steering system provides
Steering synchronization exceptional operator control and manoeuvrability. In a fully
hydrostatic system, steering is accomplished by hydraulic oil flow –
thus eliminating kickback from the steer wheels into the steering
wheel.
Because there are few mechanical linkage points, precise steering
control is maintained. The same minimum amount of steering wheel
effort is required to the truck regardless of truck speed. This system
has become the accepted “standard” design in the forklift industry.
Because hydraulic fluid is used to achieve steering, all of the

mechanical linkage from the steering shaft to the steer axle is
eliminated. Thus, there are fewer lubrication points that need to be
serviced. The Grendia Series has 6 lubrication points within the
steering system compared with 14 on the previous model.
Steering Synchroniser
The Grendia Series is equipped with steering synchronisation. With
this feature the operator has the benefit to use the advantages of
both hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic steering. The steering knob
position is always in the same relation to the rear wheels. The
steering wheel slip that occurs on lift trucks with hydrostatic steering
is compensated by a hydraulic valve.

Steer Axle
With hydrostatic steering comes key features in the design of the
Fixed length tie rods steer axle components. One of these features is the kingpin layout.
The kingpin is supported by needle bearings and a thrust bearing.
This design offers the following benefits:
The needle bearings are capable of handling radial forces. (forces

incurring when turning the truck)
A thrust bearing withstands axial forces caused by the weight of the
truck.
This set up is very easy to maintain and doesn’t require any special
tooling to pre-load the bearings.
The kingpins require greasing. This prevents premature wear by
water and dust since this will be pushed out during maintenance.
The rear axle is supported by rubber supports. This construction

offers the following advantages.
The rubber will reduce the shocks and vibrations transmitted from the
wheels, through the axle support to the operator.
The rubber will reduce the stress exerted by the axle to the chassis.
This is an important advantage. It especially reduces peak forces that
may lead to frame cracks. Those forces are softened by the rubber
support.
The axle support / rubber has an oval shape. This oval shape
increases the resistance for the rear axle to articulate in a natural
way. It helps to soften the truck movement and thereby increases the
dynamic stability.
The steer axle is made out of a cast piece giving it the necessary
strength to withstand even the most punishing ground conditions.
A cast piece contains homogeneous material and is therefor
extremely suitable to be used as a connection piece between the two
knuckles and the steering cylinder.
Also, with 3 degrees of axle articulation, the operator is able to
manoeuvre and control the lift truck on these uneven surfaces.
The tie rods used to connect the steer knuckles to the steering
cylinder are fixed in length – and therefore require no adjustment.

this all achieved?
First, deeper channels

with narrower flanges are
used so that less space is
taken up across the front
width of the truck. That is
one reason the new
generation masts have a
much better visibility over
the older type masts.
Second, the webs of the

channels were made
deeper to provide the
needed strength. This deeper web allows load rollers to have a larger
diameter, which increases their load carrying capacity.
Third, unique cross member designs provide torsion rigidity. Some

cross members use a distinctive hourglass shape with flanges
extending up and down critical stress areas of the channel.
Fourth, the chains, auxiliary hoses and lift cylinders are positioned to
optimise visibility. The chains and hoses are orientated 45 degrees to
the channels (Triplex), keeping them tucked behind the channels.
Also tucked behind the channels are the smaller diameter lift
cylinders.
Finally, even the carriage design contributes to the improved visibility

ratio. Fork bars are square instead of rectangular. This feature allows
more spacing between the fork bars increasing the visibility window
through the carriage. This feature will proof itself especially at lorry
bed height when visibility through the carriage is critical.

support the forwards and backwards loading of the rollers. Specially
shaped channels allow for two-point load roller contact even though
the rollers are not canted. The two-point contact enables the rollers to
handle side thrust forces between the mast channels. The carriage
has two side thrust rollers to help maintain its alignment in the mast.
They are in addition to the six load rollers that support the fore and

Mast Tilt Angles

The forward tilt angle is 6 degrees for all masts, while the backward
tilt angle depends on the mast model and mast height.
Simplex and Duplex masts with lifting heights including 3.5 meter
have a backward tilt angle of 12 degrees. Higher Simplex and Duplex
masts and all Triplex masts have for stability reasons a backward tilt
angle of 6 degrees.
