With 3 and 4-wheel models available in various sizes, the Traigo48 range features load capacities from 1.5 to 2.0 tonnes, with lift heights up to 7.5 metres and a maximum speed of up to 20 km/h. This offers customers the flexibility they need to tackle a wide variety of tasks in both indoor and outdoor environments.
"With the launch of our latest electric counterbalanced models, Traigo24 and Traigo80, we’ve stayed true to one of our core principles: Kaizen, or continuous improvement. This approach drives us to always go the extra mile to meet our customers' evolving needs and challenges. Our commitment is evident in the next generation of Traigo48 trucks, which combines strength, durability, and with its top-tier performance, it’s a game changer. We’re delivering a truly unique driving experience, integrating cutting-edge design, exceptional comfort, energy efficiency, and enhanced productivity. The new Traigo48 range is designed to make a real difference in the market," said Jose Maria Gener, vice president sales & marketing at Toyota Material Handling Europe.
Toyota’s Traigo48 range is available with flexible battery options to fit various operational requirements: conventional lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. The flexibility to choose between these options allows customers to select the best fit based on their operational needs, ensuring optimal performance and cost efficiency.
The new Traigo_i model is for those who prioritise ergonomics and fast charging. The electric counterbalanced Traigo_i stands out with its integrated lithium-ion battery. This design features a space-saving configuration for operators, which provides them with extra legroom for more comfort.
The Traigo_i is said to offer an easy access to the charging port integrated into the counterweight allowing for quicker and more efficient opportunity charging. On the standard Traigo48 models equipped with lead-acid battery, the side chassis panel door allows for quick and efficient battery exchange.
The new Toyota Traigo48 forklifts range is claimed to boast high levels of productivity. SyncoDrive from Toyota offers an important reduction in energy consumption compared to the previous model. The combination of an IPM (Interior Permanent Magnet) synchronous motor for traction, and advanced controllers for swift load handling operations delivers reliable performance across tasks like stacking, loading, unloading, and horizontal transport.
The 48-volt electric trucks can also be equipped with an optional high-performance motor for lifting, offering an additional boost to productivity.
The new Traigo48 can achieve up to 18% reduction in energy consumption compared to the previous model.
As part of the new overall design, the operator compartment on both designed for lithium-ion and standard models has been enhanced with features like a smaller steering wheel, an adjustable steering column and a new armrest with choice of levers. There is also an integrated colour touchscreen display providing an easy man-machine interface. Forward visibility is further enhanced by the updated overhead guard and the new lower dashboard design. The full-floating driver compartment mounted on four suspended dampers reduces vibrations, ensuring a low-noise operation that enhances operator comfort and lessens fatigue.
An optional wide visibility glass roof further enhances visibility, allowing operators to have a clearer upward view on the forks and loads, adding to the overall safety.
