Toyota Material Handling: 8-Series Electric Stand-Up Rider

Offered in lifting capacities from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, the new 8-Series electric stand-up rider counterbalanced forklifts feature an AC drive and lift system that conserves or regenerates power to maximize efficiency between battery charges. In addition, the AC motor contains no brushes, springs, commutator or wearable parts to inspect or replace, reducing maintenance costs and forklift downtime. To further boost vehicle longevity, dual steer tires improve weight distribution to reduce tire-loading pressure by 30% for longer tire life, while moisture-resistant electrical connections protect against water intrusion and corrosion. An optional 16.5-inch battery compartment increases maneuverability in tight, confined work areas. For operator comfort, ergonomic features include a shock dampening, isolated compartment floor and thicker floor mat with a universal low-effort brake pedal to reduce strain on ankles, knees, hips and lower back.
