From goods in, to stacking, high density storage, to order picking, the Toyota stand’s live demonstration area will show how Toyota’s leading products are suited to a variety of applications.
As part of the largest space at IMHX 2013, the Toyota demonstration area will include key models from Toyota’s range of counterbalance and warehouse range including; a sneak preview of the very latest Toyota Traigo80 – an 80 volt truck for greater efficiency and increased productivity.
The New Toyota Traigo80 – Charging ahead on innovation
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.
In addition, Toyota will have a dedicated area to demonstrate unique hand pallet truck models including the BT Pro Lifter with Pro Start Technology to reduce starting effort by up to a third and BT Lifter Silent for reduced noise in operation.
A dedicated Toyota team will be on hand to guide visitors through the latest products including; the BT Reflex multifunction reach truck and BT Radioshuttle aisle free storage system, plus a range of established core products and supporting services. Using the latest technology, the stand team will be able to interact with visitors, answer their questions and demonstrate how they would benefit from working with Toyota.
BT Reflex reaches new ground with the O-seriesmulti-function reach truck
Toyota Material Handling introduces the new BT Reflex O-series multi-function reach truck designed to work in both indoor and outdoor applications, providing increased flexibility for customers in a wide variety of applications.
The new reach truck model shares many of the advanced features of Toyota’s class-leading BT Reflex standard R-series model, including the unique Transitional Lift Control system for fast but secure working at height, the powerful AC motors, 360° steering and the advanced driver cab with the ‘Totalview’ concept. However the main difference with the BT Reflex O-series can be seen at ground level, where the traditional wheel and gearbox configuration has been changed to allow effective work on outdoor surfaces.
This special truck can work on uneven or rough ground due to a high ground clearance of 145mm and the treaded super-elastic tyres mean secure grip on wet or loose surfaces or worn asphalt. The heavy-duty gearbox is adapted to suit the revised drive-wheel configuration and three-wheel braking completes the package, to ensure safety and reliability.
Drive Downs Costs with Toyota’s Training Simulator
For the first time in the UK, Toyota will be presenting their unique operator training forklift simulator to show visitors how they can drive down damage costs.
Toyota has developed the World’s first forklift simulator in order to identify poor habits and improve driving techniques without moving a wheel. The simulator offers a great opportunity to increase awareness of operator driving and identify areas for improvement, in order to improve safety and drive down the costs of damage.
The purpose of this simulator is to significantly raise awareness of the risks involved in the complex process of materials handling and the cost of getting it wrong. The simulator uses three display screens to allow users to see forward, side and rear views. Operators are timed to see how long it takes them to accomplish various tasks which include; vehicle loading /unloading and travelling up and down ramps. During the simulation operators will need to be observant and take the correct actions as they follow the course, for example; at blind corners they will need to look for other site traffic and observe pedestrian walkways. Visitors to IMHX will get the chance to trial the simulator and be assessed on their driving skill. Visitors will need to check availability and register on the main Toyota stand (20F70).
Toyota brings fleet management to reality at IMHX
In addition, Toyota will be bringing their fleet management service Toyota I_Site to life at IMHX 2013 with exclusive interactive demonstrations.
As part of Toyota Material Handling’s objective to make IMHX 2013 ‘a space to do business’, Toyota will provide a demonstration for visitors to explore viable solutions to their material handling needs. To support this focus, Toyota will provide a touch-screen demonstration of the Toyota I_Site information system, providing visitors with a hands view of system and what it has to offer.
Toyota I_Site is a unique combination of technology, information, expertise and support that helps customers manage their materials handling fleet every single day.
Toyota I_Site is built around detailed reporting of truck activity and cost data, supported by advice from Toyota I_Site experts. This enables companies to substantially drive down costs and improve the efficiency of their operations.
