Lithium-ion series
Energy from your own home
Lithium-ion system. Toyota Material Handling has presented its own new lithium-ion systems. Customers benefit from extended warranties of up to seven years. All devices with the new solution should be available by the end of the year.
In 2013, Toyota Material Handling (TMH) was the first manufacturer to launch a lithium-ion series on the market. Since then, the company says it has become one of the leading suppliers of lithium-ion (Li-ion) powered industrial trucks. The lithium-ion series was continuously expanded until 2016. Since then, customers have been able to choose from a wide range of devices such as pallet trucks, reach trucks, tugs and counterbalance trucks.
Toyota has now presented its own lithium-ion systems for the first time. The modular design of the batteries is new. This makes it possible to provide the right amount of energy for every application. The modules require significantly less space than the previous solution. In the Toyota BT Levio LWE 160, the charger could be integrated into the battery tray, allowing this device to be charged at a 230-volt socket.
The battery weight has also been reduced. The resulting improvements in appliance design have been consistently implemented. The lower weight of the LWE160 also has a positive effect on energy consumption, which is significantly reduced compared to a comparable lead-acid device.
The Toyota BT Levio LWE140-200, the Toyota BT Optio OSE250, the Toyota BT Staxio SWE080 and the automated autopilot SAE and LAE with the Toyota lithium-ion systems are already available to order. All other devices will follow by the end of the year. With extended warranties of up to seven years on the batteries, Toyota is demonstrating its confidence in the technology. as
Toyota Material Handling Germany has its headquarters in Isernhagen near Hanover. In April 2007, the company emerged from the merger of Toyota Gabelstapler Deutschland and BT Deutschland. Since then, Toyota has been offering intralogistics solutions and all product-related services via a dual sales organization with 16 dealers, six Toyota Stapler Centers and nine other branches. The spectrum ranges from hand pallet trucks, tugger train systems and forklift trucks of all drive types to automated solutions. Including the dealer network, around 1,100 employees currently work for the company. The factories that produce for the European market are located in Ancenis (France), Mjölby (Sweden) and Bologna (Italy).
