Small truck is big on safety
October 1st 2009 New from Toyota is the Traigo 48 – a
powerful electric forklift that, says the
company, fits extra safety into a small
package.With its combination of
Toyota's System of Active Stability
(SAS), Operator Presence Sensing and
enhanced operator visibility, the
Traigo 48 offers high levels of safety
without compromising on
productivity or compact dimensions.
Dave Rylance, product manager for
counterbalance explains: "Toyota
strives to deliver new solutions, even
on tried and tested systems such as
SAS. For example, the three-wheeled
model of the Traigo 48 will
incorporate a new SAS feature,
specifically designed for the model.
Advanced technology gives speed
reduction through corners, giving
excellent lateral stability when
turning. This means customers can
select a model with the extra agility to
manoeuvre in restricted spaces, yet
still benefit from the protection of
advanced SAS technology." More articles from Toyota Material Handling (UK) Ltd: |
