Toyota Material Handling (TMH) has introduced new 3,000- and 3,500-pound capacity models to its Core Electric line of sit-down counterbalance, 4-wheel electric lift trucks. The new models feature Toyota-designed AC motors, improved ergonomics and new standard features and options that provide additional comfort and versatility.
In addition to the AC drive motor, both models feature a new AC pump motor. These motors function with reduced current draw, helping to control overall energy and operational costs for improved operability. They also operate without the use of wearable parts such as brushes or commutators, requiring no regular maintenance.
Operators will also experience up to 27% faster travel and lift/lower speeds as well as an increased runtime of up to 12% compared to previous models. The forklifts also feature upgraded styling and several new ergonomic improvements for improved comfort and handling. The addition of 34 new options and the availability of limitless special designs add increased versatility.
