Environmentally friendly forklift trucks

TOYOTA Material Handling’s new range of forklift trucks will be on display at The Safety Show Sydney and Sydney Materials Handling.

Toyota’s 8-Series includes features designed to increase ease of use and environmental friendliness.

The Toyota “8-Series” of one to 3.5-tonne internal combustion counterbalance forklifts was designed to provide increased safety, improved ergonomics, reduced operating costs, and greater environmental friendliness over the 7-Series range.

The 8-Series range will initially include 23 pneumatic-tyre internal-combustion models from one to three tonnes payload – including petrol/LPG and diesel models with the choice of manual and powershift transmission, and compact models.

The Toyota 8-Series design changes include a smaller steering wheel, lower step height, increased seat fore/aft travel, increased head clearance, increased ease of entry and exit, reduced noise levels at the operator’s ears, and reduced vibration.

Visit stand L46 to learn more about the 8-Series during The Safety Show Sydney and Sydney Materials Handling, which runs from October 24 to 26 at the Sydney Showground.
