Three decades of sales
supremacy for Toyota forklifts
Toyota’s engine-powered counterbalance forklifts have achieved 30 consecutive years of
Australian forklift market leadership, according to sales figures from the Australian Industrial
Truck Association (AITA) to the end of December 2016.
Toyota’s three-decade run began in 1987 with
the 5-Series and continues to the present with
the market-leading Toyota 8-Series range of
internal combustion counterbalance forklifts.
Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA)
general manager - product management Dean
Watson said the sales milestone came down to
a number of key factors.
“Toyota forklifts have always been synonymous
with high build quality, durability, reliability and
low lifecycle cost,” Mr Watson said.
“Another important reason for our success is
our System of Active Stability, or SAS, that
contains a full suite of safety measures that is
unmatched by other brands.
“Toyota was the first to introduce this kind of
comprehensive safety package in 1999, and
today it is standard equipment across a range of
our forklifts.”
TMHA COO Steve Takacs said achieving
the 30-year milestone was testament to
the constant quality improvements made to
Toyota’s suite of forklifts.
“Over those three decades Toyota has
consistently refined and improved its product
offering, and today the 8-Series internal
combustion counterbalance forklift range leads
the way in safety and efficiency, backed by
expert after-sales support from our nation-wide
network of TMHA branches,” Mr Takacs said.
Toyota’s 8-Series forklift range offers a large,
easily accessible workspace with a wide
foot area, a tight turning circle for improved
manoeuvrability, ergonomically designed
controls, excellent forward visibility and a
comfortable and fully adjustable operator
restraint suspension seat with added lumbar
support.
The fuel-efficient Toyota engines are tuned to
minimise noise levels in enclosed environments,
while Toyota hydraulic valve lifters help
lower engine noise and reduce maintenance
requirements.
All of Toyota’s engine powered 8-Series*
forklifts contain its exclusive SAS safety
technology that includes an advanced
Active Swing Lock Cylinder to help improve
productivity, operator confidence and forklift
stability to help reduce the potential for tip-
overs. It also includes Toyota’s exclusive
Operator Presence System (OPS) that prevents
the forklift from being used if the operator is not
seated correctly.
