New 3-wheel truck for confined spaces
February 1st 2006 Toyota Industrial Equipment has launched a 24 volt, 3-wheel electric truck that it says is simple to use yet technologicallyadvanced, and will allow safe and efficient operations in confined spaces. The Toyota Traigo is available in 1.0, 1.3and 1.5t capacities and can be manufactured to meet individual applications and specification needs.
Featuring Toyota technologies such as the System of Active Stability (SAS) and AC2 Power System, plus Toyota's Operator Total Care (OTC) package, the Traigo offers safety, comfort and productivity.
SAS actively protects the driver and reduces the risk of damaged goods. Features include auto fork levelling and active mast control, making operation simple and easy. It also reduces the forward tilt angle when lifting heavy loads high, aiding safe operation.
The Traigo also offers improved reliability and maintenance costs through the AC2 Power System, which combines a compact AC motor and sophisticated controller to offer powerful precise control, with more compact and less complex components.
An exclusive 3-mode Power Select function offers 'standard', 'power' and 'high power' modes for handling speeds. 'Standard' power maximises the operating time from the battery and 'High Power' mode gives maximum productivity, but reduces overall operating time on one battery.
