Selection & Applications
Choosing the Right Forklift
Start with the load, space and operating conditions—not only the nominal capacity.
What information do you need to recommend a forklift?
Please provide the load weight and dimensions, load centre, required lift height, available aisle width, pallet type, working hours, floor conditions and operating environment. Photos, rack details or a warehouse layout drawing are also helpful.
Which MiMA forklifts are suitable for narrow aisles?
MiMA offers man-up and man-down VNA trucks, three-way pallet stackers and articulated forklifts for different narrow-aisle applications. The suitable solution depends on clear aisle width, rack height, pallet size, floor flatness, guidance requirements and target throughput.
Can MiMA handle long materials such as steel, timber or aluminium profiles?
Yes. MiMA multi-directional forklifts are designed to travel and manoeuvre with long loads in constrained spaces. Share the material length, weight, load centre, support method, lift height and aisle dimensions so the capacity and configuration can be assessed.
Should I choose a lithium-ion or lead-acid battery?
Lithium-ion batteries can suit opportunity charging, multi-shift operation and lower-maintenance workflows. Lead-acid batteries may suit applications with planned charging and battery-change routines. The right choice depends on the shift pattern, duty cycle, charging facilities, operating temperature and commercial priorities.
Configuration & Buying
Planning Your Equipment
Application details allow the team to narrow the options before a quotation is prepared.
Can a MiMA forklift be customised for my application?
Depending on the model and project, options may include mast configuration, fork dimensions, attachments, battery capacity, tyres, operator cabins, cameras and preparation for specific environments. Custom requirements are reviewed before the configuration is confirmed.
Can the MiMA Australia team review our warehouse layout?
Yes. Send the warehouse drawing, aisle and rack dimensions, pallet information, load details and material flow. The team can complete an initial application review and discuss truck compatibility, operating clearances and suitable handling directions. Final site engineering and safety approval remain project-specific.
Can I arrange a product demonstration or showroom visit in Australia?
Contact MiMA Australia with the model or application you want to evaluate. A showroom visit or demonstration can be discussed according to equipment availability, location, site access and the requirements of your project.
How do I request a quotation?
Use the Contact page and include the preferred model or application details. For a focused quotation, provide capacity, lift height, aisle width, quantity, battery preference, attachment requirements, operating location and requested delivery destination.
Delivery & Support
After You Select a Forklift
Timing, warranty and support scope are confirmed against the selected truck and commercial agreement.
What affects forklift delivery time?
Lead time depends on model availability, mast and battery selection, custom engineering, attachments, production scheduling, shipping and Australian delivery requirements. The expected schedule will be stated in the final quotation or order documentation.
What warranty is provided?
Warranty coverage depends on the truck, battery, components and project configuration. The applicable period, scope, exclusions and claim process will be stated in the quotation and sales documentation. Any rights that cannot be excluded under Australian law continue to apply.
Do you provide spare parts and aftersales support in Australia?
MiMA Australia coordinates parts enquiries, technical communication and aftersales requirements according to the truck, issue, service location and agreed support arrangement. Provide the model, serial number, operating hours, fault description and photos where available.
Can MiMA forklifts work in cold storage or other specialised environments?
Special operating environments must be assessed before ordering. Provide the temperature range, humidity, floor condition, operating hours and any safety, hazardous-area or certification requirements so the team can review whether an appropriate model and configuration are available.
