Safety, productivity steered forklift development
Five key elements were involved in extensive research and customer consultation when developing a forklift truck range: safety, productivity, durability, the environment and comfort.
Materials handling division most admired
Toyota Industries Corporation (TICO) materials handling division has climbed eight places in the annual Fortune magazine survey to become the 28th most admired company in the world.
The forward and reverse directional control is also integrated into the armrest for simple operation when changing direction.
These ergonomic features minimise vibrations and ensure optimum driver comfort when operating on uneven surfaces.
They also give the driver more control, improving both efficiency and productivity.
Improved mast visibility is also a key development to the 7FBEF.
Better fork tip visibility at ground level and better visibility through the mast at lorry bed height ensure even higher levels of safety and comfort.
As with the rest of Toyota's electric forklift range, the 7FBEF comes equipped with Toyota's electric DNA concept, a unique series of industry leading technologies.
The System of Active Stability (SAS), AC2 Power System and the Operator Total Care (OTC) package that form the building blocks of the Toyota DNA ensure world leading levels of safety, comfort and productivity.
Nigel Goodwin, TWE sales support executive at Toyota, commented: "At Toyota Industrial Equipment UK, we are continuously improving our products to meet the evolving needs of customers, ensuring we provide the highest levels of satisfaction." He said: "The enhancements to the 7FBEF offer optimum levels of safety, comfort and productivity, allowing customers to benefit from Toyota's continued commitment to improving its products.".
