The battery-powered forklift truck "QuaPro-B (1-1.8t / compact 2t)" developed and manufactured by our company has been selected for the "JIDA Design Museum Selection Vol. 27" sponsored by the Japan Industrial Design Association (hereinafter referred to as JIDA).
This product has received this prestigious award, following the Good Design Award it won in 2023.

The JIDA Design Museum Selection is an award given once a year to products that are recognized as having excellent industrial design, based on criteria such as their social impact and innovative functions and designs.

We have also received comments from the judges.

The ergonomic design was based on the concept of reducing the burden on the operator, and reviewed factors such as ease of entry and exit, legroom, and forward visibility.
It can be said that this layout was only possible through a relentless battle between designers and engineers, without compromise.
The wedge shape gives a light impression and, together with the color, expresses the brand identity.
With the industry facing a labor shortage, this is a forklift that operators will want to try out.

Since its launch in December 2023, the new QuaPro-B has received high praise from many customers in the logistics field.
During the development stage, production and sales teams worked closely together with logistics sites to achieve a vehicle design with excellent overall balance (forward visibility x ease of getting in and out x comfort x operability, etc.).
In addition, we are also improving work efficiency and energy conservation with environmental considerations in mind, and are enhancing safety options.
