Toyota Material Handling UK will be showcasing its materials handling equipment at RWM 2012, 11th to 13th September 2012 at NEC Birmingham..

The exhibition trucks on show at the NEC Birmingham have been chosen for their suitability to work in the waste and recycling sector. The fleet includes: the Toyota Tonero engine-powered forklift fitted with a bale clamp, BT Levio powered pallet truck, BT Lifter hand pallet truck with weight indicator, BT Pro Lifter and the Toyota 50-50 half refurbished forklift, showing before and after the preparation process.  

The Toyota Tonero engine-powered forklift with a range of features is the truck of choice for waste handling and recycling and will be on stand with an optional bale clamp showcasing its possible use for safe and efficient handling of waste paper bales.

The Tonero forklift has been developed to address key industry concerns of safety and durability.  Featuring Toyota’s unique System of Active Stability (SAS), the Tonero helps operators to manoeuvre the truck confidently and safely.  The chassis of the truck is designed in rugged steel for maximum durability, combined with enclosed connectors to resist water and dust, allowing the Tonero to perform in tough environments.

Toyota can tailor the truck with a range of specialist options including air inlet pre-filters and radiator screens to further increase protection against dust and debris.  A range of clamps and attachments are available for safe, efficient handling.

The part refurbished Toyota forklift illustrates the quality of our used equipment that is great for second life due to excellent durability. All of our used equipment comes from our rental fleet which has been looked after by us, from new, with genuine Toyota and BT parts.  All trucks are refurbished at our UK facility to a specified finish level that meets the needs of the new owner. Rent, refurbish, re-use, recycle.  

Toyota will also be showing how their innovative high quality hand pallet truck solutions can provide a low cost solution for applications in the waste industry.  The BT Lifter with weight indicator (LHM230WI) provides an estimate of load weight during the handling process without delaying the movement of goods.

In addition, the BT Pro Lifter (LHM230P) which requires up to 67% less starting effort than the standard hand pallet truck will be demonstrated on the stand. This unique feature makes the BT Pro Lifter the ergonomic choice for optimal safety and productivity.
