Toyota 8FBRE Series Model Reach Forklift

Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has introduced the 8FBRE Series of narrow aisle battery-electric reach forklift trucks that claim to provide safe, reliable and comfortable operation for a range of applications. The forklifts have a counterbalance battery-electric and internal combustion engine with lifting capacities from 1.2 to 1.6 t with a maximum lift height of 8.5 m.

The machines are ergonomically sound as the seat and steering console are fully adjustable. The height of the cab floor can also be adjusted to three different positions and operators can customise the settings for maximum speed and acceleration and automatic braking. The forklifts also have electronically controlled 180° or 360° steering for precision manoeuvrability.

The series includes safety features as standard, including PIN-code start-up, automatic parking brake, clear view mast and overhead guard, tilting forks (available as an option), emergency cut-off and electronic speed control. Another safety feature is the regenerative braking technology that transfers brake energy back into the battery to provide extended runtimes between charging.
