MX Series
The MX Series is the largest forklift of the Mariotti line. While still maintaining the compactness of the Mariotti product, the MX is the ‘Muscle’ of the group and is equipped with a 48V power supply and capacities of up to 3,000 lbs.

Technology
AC Technology
The AC traction motor eliminates brushes and many component wearable parts. Both the drive and lift motors are powered by a 48V AC system - a technology that allows for reduced maintenance and excellent operating economy in terms of energy efficiency and battery life - giving you increased up-time. The AC technology in the MX Series forklift includes Vehicle Control System (VCS) logic, a multifunction LCD display and two inverters that control the asynchronous motors. The various components communicate by using CAN-bus technology. This allows digital data exchanges and simplifies the electrical system by reducing the number of electrical cables. The result is a substantial increase in system reliability for your forklift. In addition to the constant control of all truck functions, the VCS system enables seamless and progressive engine power, dynamic acceleration, and smooth electronic braking. This AC technology improves your forklift's performance and eases your operator's work resulting in your operations increased productivity. This reduces your operating cost and maintenance compared to conventional DC motors. The AC motor provides high drive torque and allows for better control when reversing, braking or when operating on ramps and inclines. This feature enhances your lift truck’s performance and improves your operator’s “feel” of the forklift, resulting in increased operational productivity. Electronic control of lift guarantees improved, precise control of mast functions and reduces required energy. This results in less battery usage and longer run times.
Advanced Wheelbase Function and Mast
The ME AC Series features a hydraulic controlled rack and pinion power steering system. This rack and pinion system was specially designed and engineered to replace the old hydraulic chain and sprocket gear system found in previous models. This type of power steering is found on most front-loading forklift trucks on the market today. It is, however, an innovation for trucks with capacities of less than 2,300 lbs. Elimination of the sprocket, chain, and hydraulic motor improves precision, and reliability and reduces maintenance costs. This method also reduces your energy usage increasing your run time.
Safety
Ergonomics and Safety
Although the ME is compact and agile, it has been designed to optimize on-board space and to offer your operator a comfortable, safe working environment. The truck is easily accessible and equipped with a fully adjustable seat. The steering column is also adjustable and is located on the cross member allowing additional foot room. The hydraulic operating levers are easily reached and ergonomically engineered to comfortably accommodate your operator.
The adjustments described allow your operator to make the proper selections to allow maximum comfort when operating the forklift. The ME is fitted with hydraulic brakes and features two travel speeds, normal and slow, in which not only is speed reduced but also acceleration. All this increases control when maneuvering in tight spaces or working at considerable heights.
Curve Speed Control (CSC)
For improved safety, all MX forklifts are equipped with a Curve Speed Control (CSC) system. When turning, the CSC system will automatically change truck speed to meet the angularity of the curve, thereby reducing your forklift's risk of instability and load swaying. A state-of-the-art LCD display provides information on the battery charge level, driving direction, speed, steering wheel position, and speed (fast/slow) mode. This display is connected via CAN-bus to both inverters and the VCS, allowing a real-time read into the status of the lift truck's components at a glance.
Options
The MX Series offers the following options:
- Side battery removal
- Cab enclosures
- Cold storage or freezer packages
- Panoramic rear-view mirror
- Work lights and taillights
- Non-marking tires
Capacities from 1,900 lbs to 3,000 lbs
As with the Mycros and ME Series, the new MX Series offers a narrow chassis, technologically advanced electronics, a variety of mast options, and hydraulic rack and pinion power steering. Although this lift truck features compact simplicity, the MX is the 'Power House' of the Mariotti line with a 48V power source and a lifting capacity of up to 3,000 lbs.
The MX Series of forklifts, come with standard, duplex, and triple mast options with a lifting height up to 243". Standard features include: power steering, regenerative braking, integrated side shift, adjustable steering wheel, amber strobe light, back-up alarm, emergency disconnect, and more!
