Toyota Material Handling’s BT Reflex reach truck family has received two new additions. Following the recent updates on the R, E and O-series, the narrow series (N-series) has been further improved, while an updated cold store version has been added.

The new narrow reach truck is a compact truck with a small chassis, designed for tight spaces or operations that require block stacking or drive-in racking. It comes in two capacities: a 1.4 T and a 1.6 T, and the lift height of the N-series has been increased by 1.5 m, from 8.5 to 10 m.

The cold store version also went through some major enhancements and can be added to the R, E and N-series with or without a heated cabin. Cold store models are designed for cold environments down to -30°C; they are available in five capacities: 1.4 T, 1.6 T, 1.8 T, 2 T and 2.5 T; and have a lift height up to 13 m.

The standard cold store version has an open cab and is adapted to handle cold environments. This version can be equipped with an isolated heated cabin (optional) which is beneficial for the health, safety and productivity of the drivers, especially if they have to work in freezing conditions for multiple hours on end. The windows and transparent roof stay clear of frost to maximise visibility.

Both new offerings come with lithium-ion batteries, based on Toyota technology. They are available with the I_Site fleet management system from Toyota.

“You can expect a very intuitive and interactive driving experience and intelligent energy solutions in these new BT Reflex (reach trucks),” says Craig Walby, product director at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
