8-Series electric lift trucks

Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. unveils its new line of 8-Series four-wheel AC electric lift trucks. Available in 4,000- to 6,500 pound load capacities (including a new 5,500 pound capacity model), the vehicles are suited for virtually every indoor material handling need, from food and beverage to general warehousing and distribution centers usage, the manufacturer says.

The new lift trucks deliver longer run times and offer quicker acceleration, for more productivity, efficiency, durability, and safety. Their AC-powered system is composed of a series of subsystems—each of which either conserves or regenerates power to maximize operational productivity between battery charges. The motor features a "power keep" function, which is designed to compensate for battery depletion and corresponding loss of performance, allowing for longer run times and more consistent power output.

Improved ergonomics and expanded leg room provide for greater operator comfort. The vehicles also feature a standard ultra-comfort vinyl full suspension seat with four-way adjustability and increased forward/backward seat adjustment.
