Toyota Material Handling: Compact Battery Compartment Option for 8-Series

Compact battery compartment option lets 4-wheel trucks maneuver in narrow aisles To support narrow aisle applications with tight turning radius requirements, the supplier’s 4,000- and 5,000-pound capacity 8-series four-wheel AC electric lift trucks can be optionally outfitted with a compact 27-inch battery compartment. The short compartment accommodates either a 36- or 48-volt battery, enabling the lift truck to maneuver in 12-foot aisles. The smaller battery delivers travel and lift speeds equivalent to larger battery units, while the nearly maintenance-free AC-system conserves and regenerates power to extend battery shift life and reduce downtime between charges. For further extended run time and reduced brake wear, the vehicle integrates three forms of regenerative braking: coast control, plug braking and foot braking.
