Compact electric forklifts

The Traigo24 three-wheel electric forklift truck from Toyota Material Handling UK has been designed for simple, straightforward operations in confined or tight spaces,

“There is currently a strong demand for electric CB forklifts, with many differing requirements from our customers, depending on the loads being handled, the working environment and the right energy solutions,” said Sam Gray, sales training & product development manager, Toyota Materials Handling UK.

Energy efficient

The new Toyota Traigo24 electric counterbalance range offers a choice of models with capacities of 1, 1.25 and 1.5 tonnes with lift heights up to 6.5 metres. 

Its narrow chassis design makes it well suited to tight spaces and confined areas. Highly manoeuvrable, it can stack loads in narrow aisles, thanks to a new shorter chassis enhancing driveability and efficiency with the highest capacity. 

The 24-volt electric range is available with lithium-ion power technology, as well as traditional lead-acid batteries. A choice of different energy packs are available, based on high-density lithium-ion battery solutions from Toyota Material Handling.

Allowing for maximum energy efficiency while reducing CO2 emissions and energy costs, the concept enables customers to calculate the optimum combination of battery and charger to suit working patterns, taking into account operating times and scheduled breaks during the normal working shift.

The Toyota Traigo24 will be available as a connected smart truck, allowing customers to monitor and improve their operations in terms of safety, productivity and cost-efficiency. 

Moreover, powerful front and rear LED lights are now available as options on the new range which reduce energy consumption.
