Hello, i have just joined here, yes we have the new toyota forklifts at work, after assessing a few types, we chose toyota due to their systems, only complaint we had, was the tilt leveller button on top of the controls, yes it is in the way, as most drivers rest their hands on top of controls, these buttons would have been better to have underneath the controls, to be activated by thumb, and if you can drive, why do we need tilt leveller ??
our forklifts were fitted with canopies after we assessed them, if they had the canopy on during assessment, results would have been different, first the wiper does not sweep very much of the screen, as it is located in top right hand corner, so only sweeps part of screen, not even half of it, unacceptable vision, there is drink bottle holder fitted standard, yet when the canopy is on, the washer bottle is fitted and blocks the drink bottle holder from being used.
toyota built good forklift, but the small touches and finishes, are not acceptable, should put more effort to finish things properly, show that you know something about forklifts when fitting these things to forklifts,
i have been driving since 1975, have taught numerous people to drive, can drive just about any type of forklift.
