New Toyota Traigo80 electric-powered forklift charging forward with innovation at IMHX 2013

Toyota Material Handling UK gives a sneak preview of the brand new Toyota
Traigo 80-volt electric-powered forklift at the IMHX from the 18th – 22nd
March 2013 at the NEC, Birmingham.

Hitting the market later this year, the Toyota Traigo80 boasts a series of
innovative features to help customers work productively and safely.

The Toyota Traigo80 completes the innovative family of Traigo electric
counterbalance forklifts that includes models from the 24 volt, 48 volt and
HT ranges. The entire Traigo family of trucks are all designed and built
around the core values of productivity, safety, durability and driver
comfort, to provide customers with trucks that add value to their business.

The new Toyota Traigo80 is a robust, compact and versatile forklift with
capacities from 2.0 – 3.5 tonne, including compact models. This range
provides solutions for any application and use, whether occasional or high
intensity. Equipped with the powerful and lean Toyota AC electric
drive-and-lift technology and Toyota’s unique System of Active Stability
(SAS) this truck is designed to be a reliable business asset and help
customers’ drive down material handling costs. Working indoors and outdoors,
a wide range of cabins are available for improving comfort in all-weather
operations.

In line with Toyota’s well-known principle of continuous improvement
(Kaizen), the Toyota Traigo 80 takes leaps forward in many key areas: it
provides improved productivity for users, maximum speed – paired with better
energy efficiency – and superb all-around visibility. In addition, drivers
can take advantage of clearer through-mast visibility in operations with a
choice of masts to suit different application needs.
