The new BT Reflex delivers true vision at all heights
Toyota Material Handling is launching 3 new reach truck series to the UK market: the BT Reflex R, E and O-series excel in productivity and visibility thanks to the completely redesigned mast with lift heights up to 13 metres. The BT Reflex R-series, engineered for performance at height, the unique E-series with tilting cab for more precision and comfort, and the flexible O-series for inside and outside work. These 3 ranges with capacities of 1.4 up to 2.5 tonnes also have an adapted operator compartment to offer a unique and intuitive driver experience with excellent visibility.
Smooth operation
Unique to Toyota reach trucks are the tilting cab and Transitional Lift Control (TLC). These already existing features proved their added value in operation and have been improved on the new range. The tilting movement is smoother, which is not only more comfortable when working at high heights; but it also gives the driver better visibility. Load handling is therefore more ergonomic, productive and safe. The TLC feature ensures maximum load handling speeds can be maintained in operation thanks to shock-free lifting and lowering. This gives drivers more control of the load to improve overall performance.
Optimal driver Comfort
This truck has been designed with the operator in mind. The controls, steering, seat and floor are all adjustable to suit different drivers. The steering function has been improved, with different steering profiles to optimise the driver experience. The drive wheel is always straight after shutdown, ensuring a fast and safe start-up. Optimised Truck Performance (OTP) is standard on the range and offers enhanced reach control and cornering control for increased safety and productivity. The new BT Reflex can be equipped with a fork position laser facilitating positioning of the forks in front of the pallet, reducing damage to goods and infrastructure.
Also available with Lithium-Ion & I_Site
“Our new reach trucks can be further optimised to suit your specific requirements,” says Tony Wallis, Commercial Director for Toyota Material Handling UK, “for instance for intensive applications we offer, Lithium-Ion batteries to improve energy efficiency but also ease of use.
For cold store applications the BT Reflex can be equipped with a fully enclosed cabin ensuring high comfort and productivity in these tough working conditions. These new trucks can also be connected using Toyota’s I_Site technology, creating smart trucks that allow customers to monitor performance of trucks and operators, improving safety and reducing costs.”
