Toyota Material Handling Europe is introducing its new three-wheel electric forklift truck, the Traigo24, designed for simple, straightforward operations in confined or tight spaces. The models range from 1 to 1.5 T and are available with energy-efficient lithium-ion power and improved ergonomics for higher productivity.

The easy-to-drive compact three-wheel truck allows for safe and efficient operations in tight spaces or congested areas. A wide range of light- to mid-duty applications can be handled by this driver-friendly truck. Its size and flexibility make it ideal for factories, warehouses, and shops, without compromising on safety, reliability or comfort. 

“There is currently a strong demand for electric CB forklifts, with many differing requirements from our customers, depending on the loads being handled, the working environment, and the right energy solutions,” says Jose Maria Gener, vice president sales and marketing at Toyota Material Handling Europe. “Whether it’s our recent Traigo80 trucks that truly allow customers to make the shift to electric power, without compromising on performance in intensive use or our new compact Traigo24 models to make it easy for customers with occasional use in compact applications, we are able to meet every need.”

The 24-volt electric range is available with lithium-ion power technology as well as traditional lead-acid batteries. A choice of different Intelligent Energy Packs is available, based on high-density lithium-ion battery solutions from Toyota Material Handling, allowing for maximum energy efficiency while reducing CO2  emissions and energy costs. 

The Toyota Traigo24 will be available as a connected smart truck, allowing customers to monitor and improve their operations in terms of safety, productivity and cost-efficiency. I_Site fleet management system features include PIN code/Smart Access, only authorising drivers with a PIN code or Smart card, both integrated in the dashboard next to the display, to activate the truck. Another I_Site feature available as optional is the pre-operational check, allowing drivers to start up the forklift only after having answered a series of questions that ensure the truck is reliable and safe to operate. 

All Traigo24 electric trucks are as standard equipped with Toyota’s unique System of Active Stability (SAS), ensuring excellent forklift stability by protecting the operator and load when driving, turning and lifting. SAS provides advanced technology, increasing safety and improving productivity. 

The new models have been simultaneously released by Toyota Material Handling UK.
