Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) is refreshing its forklift product range this year with the introduction of a new power-steered walkie reach truck, a new sit down reach
truck with a “true vision”mast offering increased capacity and lift heights, and an update of its popular Mini Mover electric pallet jack and walkie stacker.
Toyota warehouse equipment forklift range updated for 2017
TMHA national sales and product manager Jim
Lobow said the introduction of the new products
was the result of Toyota continually seeking
ways to offer the best range of warehousing
equipment for its customers.
“In keeping with the Toyota philosophy of
Kaizen, or ‘continuous improvement’, TMHA
is always striving to offer the highest quality
products and services possible that meet the
varied needs of our customers,” Mr Lobow said.
The Toyota SWE120XR walkie reach stacker
with retractable mast combines the compact
size of a stacker with the flexibility of a reach
truck. Featuring a tight turning radius, power
steering as standard and mast tilt, it is a flexible
space-saving solution that is ideal for use in
narrow aisles and cold storage applications.
Key features of the Toyota SWE120XR walkie
reach stacker include mast position sensor,
controlled reach speeds and soft start/stop
function.
The mast tilt range of 1.2 degrees forwards
and 1.8 degrees backwards makes it easier to
manoeuvre loads in narrow aisles and access
goods in hard-to-reach racking. All driver
controls are located on the tiller arm to enable
smooth and precise control.
Toyota’s Optimised Truck Performance (OTP)
technology controls acceleration, braking
and steering depending on speed while the
Click-2-Creep function enables the driver to
operate the walkie stacker with the arm in an
upright position at very low speeds, improving
driveability in confined areas.
The Toyota Reflex RRE H Series reach truck
is an update of a popular model in the TMHA
line-up.
“The new BT Reflex RRE H Series has a
new generation ‘true vision’ mast that offers
greater reach height of 13 metres, up from 10.5
metres,” Mr Lobow said.
“The new, higher capacity mast can handle
more weight at a greater height, making it a
more robust and versatile option than many of
its competitors.”
Other new features of the Toyota BT Reflex
RRE H Series reach truck include upgraded
steering, with four pre-defined operator settings,
and a redesigned overhead guard that offers
improved visibility for the operator with a
transparent roof option.
The ergonomically designed operator’s
compartment can accommodate the needs of
individual drivers and features electronically
adjustable floor height and fully adjustable seat,
steering console and control console, plus a
new accelerator pedal design.
TMHA’s product update also includes its
popular Toyota Mini Mover LWE130 compact
electric-powered pallet jack and HWE100S
stacker, now with the addition of PIN code
access.
“This popular feature assists managers and
supervisors in restricting unauthorised use of
the pallet jack by assigning operator codes,
thereby increasing security and safe use in the
warehouse,” Mr Lobow said.
Both models also feature Click-2-Creep
technology and a narrow chassis to provide
excellent manoeuvrability in confined working
areas.
The HWE100S’s single mast provides a
clear view on both sides of the forklift and
surrounding areas while the castor wheels on
both models are contained within the chassis
to eliminate the chance of them making contact
with the operator’s feet.
TMHA expects its updated product range to be
available to customers early in the second half
of this year.
