| Toyota unveils 7-Series lift truck  Toyota Material Handling unveiled its new state-of-the-art 7-Series electric walkie straddle stacker lift truck with adjustable baselegs. Available in both 2,000- and 2,500-pound capacity models, this new series of versatile, highly maneuverable lift trucks provides a cost-effective material handling solution for a variety of pedestrian truck applications - from manufacturing environments to retail store operations. The new models bear a family resemblance to Toyota's 4,500-pound walkie pallet truck and share many of the same internal components. Both trucks boast the industry-proven MOSFET controller and Separately Excited, SepEx, drive motor technology.The SepEx drive motor and transistor control system offer excellent acceleration and top travel speed loaded or unloaded, as well as smooth speed control. This combination maximizes battery and operator efficiency. The new lift trucks feature a 24-volt electrical system, regenerative braking, interlocking mast channel construction and a spring-loaded control handle that automatically applies the parking brake when the handle is released. It also features Controller Area Network communication technology to provide quicker, more reliable control from the operator to the drive motor with fewer components. These new models offer more power and many advanced features not commonly found in such affordable lift trucks. Lift truck operators will appreciate the sophisticated, multifunction control handle providing ease of use with large dual thumb wheels and lift, lower and horn buttons that can be operated with either hand. These new models also feature a password-protected keyless entry pad with capacity for up to 10 different operator access codes for convenience and security. For comfort, handgrips are angled to fit the hand's natural contour and reduce fatigue. A high-visibility mast with a safety glass mast guard provides the operator with a clear view of the fork tips and a wider view of the work area for increased safety, load handling confidence and efficiency. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
