Toyota Forklifts

Toyota Introduces the 8-Series Forklift

THE NEW NUMBER 1

Following in the footsteps of the innovative and rugged 7-Series, Toyota's 8-Series once again sets the standard for lift trucks. Major enhancements in durability, safety, operator ergonomics, ease of operation, and environmental safeguards make the 8-Series the obvious first choice when it comes to material handling equipment.  From the exclusive System of Active Stability (SAS) and the elimination of hazardous materials such as cadmium and mercury, to improved visibility and increased legroom and foot space, the 8-Series features the best in Toyota innovation and engineering.

SEE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN MISSING

Upward... Forward... Fork Tip... Rear...

8-Series lift trucks provide unprecedented visibility in all directions to assure greater operator safety. That, in turn, translates into improved performance and increased productivity. Among the features designed specifically to increase the operator's optimal range of vision are:

• Dash-mounted displays and low profile cowl with sloped dashboard for an unobstructed view of the fork tips
• Strategically placed overhead guard rails for best visibility when positioning forks and handling high-racking loads
• Tapered rear overhead guard leg pillars and low profile LPG tanks for clear sightlines when driving in reverse

INNOVATION AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

The 8-Series lift trucks are designed and built with operator ease and comfort in mind. That means innovative features that make them Toyota's most ergonomically advanced trucks ever. From an ultra-comfort vinyl full suspension seat with 4-way adjustability and a non-clinching seat belt - making reverse operations easier, to spacious legroom and 12-inch-long dual operator assist grips, these trucks seamlessly combine ergonomics and productivity. Among the other features:

• Automotive style light switch and turn signal levers integrated in the steer column for easy accessibility and simple operation
• Foot-activated parking brake to lessen operator back strain
• Heavy-duty, non-slip floor mat to minimize noise, heat and vibration
• High mount key switch and parking brake release lever to lessen operator back strain
• Fully hydraulic power steering system
• Expanded tilt steer column and seat travel adjustability
• Oversized cup holder and amenity trays

Toyota's global commitment to a cleaner environment is as powerful as its unrelenting pursuit of quality. As the cleanest, lowest-emission lift trucks in the industry, the 8-Series exemplify that commitment. Not only have environmentally unfriendly substances such as cadmium, mercury and asbestos been eliminated but the number of recyclable parts has been increased. The 8-Series lift trucks also actively help improve the quality of the air we breathe. Its exclusive emission system already surpasses the standards set out for 2010 by the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the most stringent in North America. In fact, all 8-Series internal combustion models produce 70% less smog-forming emissions than the CARB standard.

NO TOOLS?  NO PROBLEM!

Thanks to the 8-Series' numerous ease-of-service features, keeping your lift truck in top shape is more straightforward and faster than ever before. From the no-tool floorboard to expedite daily operator checks and easy-lift engine hood, to one-touch LP tank bracket and conveniently mounted brake fluid level check, the 8-Series trucks are designed to make servicing and maintenance a breeze. Other features include:

• Hydraulic return filter located outside the hydraulic tank for easier servicing and replacement
• Radiator screen option to help reduce the amount of lint, fibers and other workplace debris in the radiator fins
• Planned maintenance hour meter on the optional digital display monitor to notify operators when it is time for routine maintenance
• Integrated monitoring system for instant access to vital aspects of the operating system, including engine coolant temperature gauge, check engine light, engine oil pressure warning light, and battery charge warning light

The result is the most reliable, durable and easy to use lift truck ever. Couple this with lowered running costs, a safer, low-pollution, low-noise workplace and unmatched productivity and it's no wonder the 8-Series is being hailed as the most advanced lift truck since the 7-Series!
