Core Value

Performance You Can Put to Work Every Shift

Discuss Your Handling Needs

High Working Efficiency

Efficient electric drivetrains cut handling time between cycles, so operators move more pallets per shift.

Wide-View Mast Design

An open mast and gantry layout gives operators a clearer line of sight to the forks and load, supporting safer placement.

Long-Shift Comfort

An ergonomic cab layout and adjustable seating reduce operator fatigue across back-to-back shifts.

Safety & Reliability

Full AC electrical systems, electric power steering on selected models, and three independent brake systems.

Five Model Series

Capacity from 1.0 to 5.0 tonnes across stand-on and sit-down configurations, matched to your pallet weight.

Tailored Configuration

Capacity, attachments, mast height, and cabin features can be adjusted for cold storage, explosion-proof, or other special sites.

Selection Guidance

Is MiMA's Counterbalance Forklift the Right Choice?

A counterbalance forklift trades some of the space efficiency of narrow-aisle equipment for flexibility — it's the model most sites reach for first when a task calls for general-purpose handling.

Compared With	Counterbalance Forklift Advantage	Best Fit
Diesel Forklift	Cleaner electric operation for indoor or mixed-use environments.	Warehouses wanting to reduce fuel-related operation and emissions.
Reach Truck	Better suited for loading, unloading, and general transfer tasks.	Operations needing flexible ground-level pallet handling.
Pallet Stacker	Higher handling capacity and productivity for frequent pallet movement.	Warehouses with heavier loads or continuous handling needs.
Narrow Aisle Forklift	More general-purpose use for standard aisle warehouses and loading areas.	Sites prioritising flexible daily handling over maximum storage density.

Note: Final model selection should consider load capacity, lift height, pallet size, working surface, indoor / outdoor conditions, and operating hours.

Discuss Your Application

What is an electric counterbalance forklift used for?

It's the general-purpose workhorse of most warehouses — handling truck loading and unloading, pallet transfer, and stacking across indoor or mixed-use sites.

How is it different from a diesel counterbalance forklift?

It runs on battery power instead of fuel, so there's no exhaust to manage indoors and less noise on the floor. MiMA's electric models also run full AC electrical systems, which give smoother, more precise control than older DC setups.

What safety features are built into MiMA's electric counterbalance forklifts?

Each model runs three independent brake systems for redundancy, a wide-view mast design for better sightlines to the load, and electric power steering on selected models for finer low-speed control.

What capacity and model options are available?

The range spans 1.0–5.0 tonnes across five model series, from compact stand-on units through to sit-down counterbalance trucks. The right fit depends on your typical pallet weight and lift height.

Can it be used outdoors as well as indoors?

In suitable conditions, yes. Outdoor use depends on tyre configuration, yard surface, load weight, and how much time the unit spends outside versus on the warehouse floor.

When should I choose a counterbalance forklift instead of a reach truck?

Counterbalance forklifts suit loading, unloading, and general transfer across mixed tasks. Reach trucks are the better call when the priority is high-rack storage density in narrower aisles.

Can MiMA customise a forklift for my site or industry?

Yes — capacity, attachments, mast height, and cabin fit-out can be adjusted for specialised environments such as cold storage or explosion-proof sites. Talk to our team about your operating conditions.

What warranty and parts support comes with the forklift?

Units are covered by comprehensive warranty terms, with genuine spare parts backed by MiMA's global distribution network as well as local support from MiMA Forklift Australia.
