Get Potato Harvest Season Ready With Toyota

With the potato harvest season here, do you have the right equipment ready? Incomparable truck stability, high lifting and driving capability, and superb visibility of the fork tips at any height are all desirable attributes to have for a truck during the potato harvest season. These features are all offered by the Toyota Tonero and Triago ranges which provide you with a high-quality of work. The product’s main distinction is that the Traigo is battery-powered while the Tonero is engine-powered. More information about each model’s abilities is provided below to help you decide which model will best suit your needs for during the potato harvest season.

Tonero

Powerful and reliable, the Tonero truck is built to operate effectively in various indoor and outdoor conditions, offering stability and productivity during light to heavy-duty operations with capacities ranging from 1500kg to 8000kg.

The Tonero’s interior, roof, and mast are designed to give the operator clear visibility right up to the tip of the fork, both when driving and when handling loads from the ground and at height, to ensure all-round safety for the driver. Upward visibility tilted tie-bars on the overhead guard provide clearer upward visibility when handling loads high on racks. Forward visibility repositioning the mast tie-bar provides optimal visibility when driving, loading, and unloading. Easy to operate yet full of power and precision, the Toyota Tonero can move your pallets faster, more easily, and more safely. Power and handling are second to none, with the Toyota torque converter delivering the most efficient and smoothest transmission of power from engine to wheels.

When it comes to productivity, the Toyota Tonero range has been designed to ensure that users benefit from maximum truck uptime. For instance, the trucks require minimal maintenance, while service intervals have been increased, and when maintenance work does have to be carried out, the Tonero’s lean design enables engineers to access vital components quickly and easily, which means that servicing is completed efficiently, and truck downtime is minimised. The Tonero line, like all Toyota models, provides excellent driveability, low noise, and vibrations to help keep truck operators comfortable during their shifts.

Traigo

Toyota’s electric forklifts are built with quality, performance, and durability in mind to help you tackle all of your material handling needs. Electric forklifts run on a battery, which serves as both a counterbalance and a power supply. In addition, the battery operates quietly with low emissions and rechargeable capabilities with loads ranging from 1500kg to 8000kg.

Toyota’s electric forklifts are made with fewer moving parts, making them easier to maintain and less likely to experience wear and tear. Many Toyota models are designed with AC-Power, which will increase runtime and decrease maintenance. With Toyota’s dependable track record, your operation can anticipate increased uptime and a quick return on your investment.

The Toyota Traigo has a rugged exterior designed for demanding work environments, and because the machine is produced using the Toyota Production System (TPS), its built-in quality is assured by the most renowned manufacturing system. Built to last, the Toyota Traigo is designed to deliver years of worry-free operation by saving you time and money with its reliable performance. The truck’s thick metal exterior panels are made to withstand the demands of tough applications.

The Toyota Traigo mast provides clearer upward visibility offering operators an excellent view when handling loads at height. The Traigo also supports safe operation when driving on ramps, giving the driver more control. An active system helps prevent the truck from rolling backwards or forwards when the operator’s foot is briefly removed from the pedal. From its ergonomic design to its all-round compact size, Toyota Traigo is a pleasure to drive even where space is limited.
