Toyota Industrial Equipment has launched its 3-wheel electric forklift. The new forklifts include 3,000 – 4,000 lb. capacity models with battery compartments ranging from 17.7 to 25.1 inches, and more than 30 improvements to improve performance, efficiency, stability and operator comfort.

Toyota’s 3-wheel electric forklift boasts improved run times, increased travel and lift speeds. The new model comes equipped with wet disc brakes to increase overall uptime and dependability, and features a new turn speed control system to increase the forklifts lateral stability by dramatically slowing it down when an operator attempts to turn at high speeds. Ergonomic improvements include a smaller steering wheel and foot parking brake to enhance operability, a full suspension seat adjustable for various weights for operator comfort, and a popular optional rear assist grip with horn to make reverse travel more comfortable, improve peripheral vision and keep the operator’s hands protected within the compartment.
