Three new Toyota forklift models from Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) offer the popular load capacities of 2 tons, 2.5 tons and 3 tons. Thanks to their cushion tyres, they provide excellent stability on a compact chassis.
Three new Toyota 8FBCU cushion tyre models provide excellent stability and a compact chassis design to deliver great value in terms of safety, productivity and performance.
All models feature the Toyota System of Active Stability (SAS) – which helps prevent accidents and drives down damages costs
Designed for all indoor materials handling applications, from food and beverage to general warehousing and distribution centres, Toyota electric 8FBCU models provide better performance thanks to higher drive and lifting speeds than their predecessors.
“Like all Toyota forklifts, they offer excellent value in the areas of safety, productivity and performance,” says Anthony Nadalin, Product Marketing Manager Counterbalanced at TMHE.
Toyota SAS supporting safety
Every 8FBCU counterbalanced model features the Toyota System of Active Stability (Toyota SAS), an exclusive Toyota technology designed to actively support forklift safety and productivity. As the focus on workplace safety increases across Europe, SAS stands out as technology that helps to reduce the risk of accidents and drive down costs from damages to goods, property and equipment.
SAS constantly monitors forklift operations and automatically takes corrective action when it senses factors that could lead to the truck or load becoming unstable. Advanced SAS functions – including mast tilt angle and speed control, one-touch fork leveling, and the revolutionary swing lock cylinder – also support productivity and driver efficiency.
Other standard 8FBCU features that support workplace safety include a low dashboard for excellent visibility of the fork tips, a maximum drive speed setting to help enforce workplace speed limits, and a wheel indicator that shows the position of the wheels at a glance to support safe driving habits.
Productivity and performance
For maximum productivity and performance the Toyota 8FBCU range features the exclusive
Toyota AC2 power system. Toyota AC
2 is built around new Toyota 48-volt motors and controllers developed together for optimal compatibility, resulting in higher drive and lifting speeds. In addition, the ‘Accel-off’ braking function delivers smooth regenerative braking performance.
Toyota 8FBCU’s ergonomic design helps reduce driver fatigue and stress and supports greater productivity. Standard features include a low, wide step and a new large driver entry assist grip for easy access to the truck. The new slimline adjustable steering column and small (300mm diameter) steering wheel allow comfortable driving, while a new, easy-to-read digital display offers detailed operational information at a glance. Optional mini-levers provide fast, accurate, ergonomic load handling, and optional PIN-code start-up helps ensure that Toyota 8FBCU can only be operated by authorized personnel.
