MiMA MJ20 Articulated Series

Information to measure before requesting this model

Measure pallet width and depth, overhanging goods, load centre, rack beam height, aisle obstructions, main aisles, doorways and turning areas. Identify floor joints, slopes and pedestrian routes. Show the supplier a dimensioned layout and a representative load.

Record shift patterns, charging opportunities, local electrical supply and service access. Ask the supplier to approve the route for the complete offered chassis, mast and load. The battery platform and mast selected for one MJ20 variant should not be assumed for another.

Questions for the quotation

• Which of the four MJ20 codes is offered, with which mast and battery?
• Which drawing and load chart cover our pallet orientation and rack height?
• What turning and main-aisle space does the offered truck require?
• Who supports articulation components, traction controls and mast service?

Documents to request

Ask for the complete model and option codes, a dated model-specific data sheet, dimensions, the configuration-specific load chart, battery and charger data, attachment approval, tyre specification, operator and maintenance manuals, scheduled service requirements and the applicable destination-market conformity records. The contracting party should identify who commissions the truck, provides training, supports diagnostics, supplies parts and carries warranty responsibility.

How to compare an alternative

Build one comparison sheet and hold the operating case constant. Use the same load, load centre, lift height, attachment, aisle or route, gradients, floor, temperature, shifts and charging window for every candidate. Ask suppliers to show where each quoted value comes from and whether it is standard, optional, calculated, tested or dependent on a market package.

Separate truck price from the operating system around it. Include charger and electrical work, battery replacement assumptions, tyres, scheduled service, diagnostic access, software or telematics fees, training, commissioning, freight, spare parts and expected downtime support. A lower equipment price can produce a higher operational cost when these boundaries are omitted.

Commercial and delivery boundary

Record the legal seller, Incoterm, delivery location, included options, excluded installation work, document language, acceptance method, warranty start, response time and responsible service entity. Require written change control when the supplier substitutes a mast, battery, charger, tyre, controller or software package after the technical review.

Parts and service identity

The family name is not sufficient for a parts match. Preserve the data plate, full model, serial number, mast and attachment details, battery voltage, controller and display labels, old component number, connectors, ports, mounting points and dimensions. Ask the source of every proposed replacement: catalogue record, drawing, supersession notice or written manufacturer confirmation.

Read the four variant columns separately

The manufacturer groups four MJ20 codes on one page. The narrow versions and wide versions have different aisle and mast-option entries. Keep a separate line for each offer rather than building a preferred specification from the smallest dimension and greatest lift displayed anywhere in the table.

Ask for a dated sheet that names the code on the truck plate. Preserve the mast option and battery schedule beside it. A supplier proposing an alternative should show precisely which dimensions, load-chart conditions and support items change.

Articulation is a complete route question

A stacking aisle describes a particular handling case. Goods can overhang a pallet, forks may enter on another side, and the load can approach a rack at a different angle. Record these differences before using the reference value as a building-layout assumption.

Include the approach to the aisle and the turn out of it. Check the rear body, articulation movement, load envelope and clearance near barriers. Agree a controlled commissioning route using the offered truck and representative goods with the responsible supplier.

Height and capacity require one chart

The maximum mast option is not a promise to carry the full reference mass at that height. Require a chart covering the mast, load centre, attachments and specified duty. Record the chart revision so a mast substitution receives a fresh review.

Use the highest required rack position and the actual load geometry in the enquiry. A taller possible mast may add dimensions, service needs and building-clearance questions that a lower working requirement does not have.

Preserve the articulated service identity

Ask for identification of the steering and articulation assemblies, bearings, sensors, controls and lubrication instructions. Component appearance does not establish interchangeability. Keep the complete chassis code and serial number with the parts request.

Specify who can diagnose steering or traction faults locally and how the relevant instructions and replacement components are obtained. Treat future component support as part of the purchasing decision rather than a generic brand assurance.

Evidence boundary

ForkliftIQ has not inspected or tested this truck. Published capacity, dimensions, energy and software statements remain attributed to the manufacturer source. Current availability, exact configuration, regional documentation, dealer authority, lead time, field performance and warranty must be confirmed in writing for the offered truck.
