Toyota extends reach to outdoor applications
1 min read
A reach truck that works as effectively outdoors as it does inside in traditional racking environments is now available from Toyota Material Handling.
The BT Reflex O-series is a multi-function reach truck, designed to deliver maximum flexibility for customers.
The new truck shares many features with the Reflex R-series, but the main difference can be seen at ground level, where the traditional wheel and gearbox configuration has been changed to allow effective work on outdoor surfaces.
This truck can work on uneven or rough ground due to a high ground clearance of 145mm; the treaded, super-elastic tyres give secure grip on wet or loose surfaces or worn asphalt. The heavy-duty gearbox is adapted to suit the revised drive-wheel configuration and three-wheel braking completes the package, to ensure safety and reliability.
A range of all-weather protection options are also available, including a fully enclosed cab with large clear-screen windows, as well as door, heater and fan. Powerful working lights enable operation in the dark.
Tony Wallis, Toyota's sales and marketing director, said: "The BT Reflex O-series provides a flexible solution which can help customers to load, unload and store goods, both indoors and outdoors.
"At the same time this new model continues to offer top-level handling performance when working as a traditional reach truck in the racking systems."
The O Series has a lift capacity of 1.6 tonnes to 7.5m.
