Energy efficiency features for forklift

The 48V electric forklift comes with improved electric power steering and features force feedback, ensuring accurate driving control at all driving speeds. The truck offers enhanced driver control with full stop on ramp and accurate positioning with and without load. Toyota says the truck's compact chassis and ergonomic upgrades mean customers can count on a longer operating life, even in the most intensive operations.

The 3-wheel models are available from 1.5 to 2.0t and are highly manoeuvrable in confined areas. The 4-wheel models, available from 1.6 to 2.0t, can handle intensive operations in both indoor and outdoor environments and now feature an improved turning circle. These versatile and flexible forklifts can access all areas, delivering efficient all-round performance for all materials handling applications. They have the Toyota System of Active Stability (SAS) and Toyota AC motors to enhance productivity while keeping operator, truck and goods safe.

Dave Rylance, counterbalance product manager, explains: "Our goal was to exceed our customers’ expectations, and with the Traigo 48 we delivered class-leading productivity through increased performance and lower energy consumption. This truck range is also an important step forward thanks to the offer of Li-ion batteries as a standard option, which reduces the need for battery change in many operations and pre-operational checks, giving operators the option of managing their truck safely and efficiently thanks to Toyota I_Site truck management.”
