Choose the right transmission
22 September 2014
Many companies are unaware of the impact the choice of transmission can have on the productivity of an operation. Addressing this, Toyota Material Handling UK has produced a video on selecting the right transmission for engine-powered forklifts.

Dave Rylance, Product Manager at Toyota explains "We are all constantly looking for ways to improve the efficiency and productivity of forklifts that work within customers’ operations and we feel the best way to do this is to offer choice and support.
"Although we believe that 70% of forklift operations are more suited to torque converter transmission, the HST option on the Tonero forklift truck can be a beneficial for companies who are doing short runs, loading on ramps or where the operator is more familiar with the way this truck drives. The torque converter option offer powerful acceleration and the ability to coast."
