• High Water Resistance -  quality engineering and strategic positioning of motors and controllers sees 8FBE forklift achieves a high water resistance rating of IPX4, meaning it can work as comfortably outside as it does inside. This makes it one of the most versatile forklifts on the market.
• Robust body design has seen the 8FBE 3-wheel counterbalance forklift counterweight extended to reduce the risk of damage during turns.
• Compact yet powerful AC Motors dramatically improve both travel and load handling performance to a level that approaches that of internal combustion forklifts.
• Digital display with multi-function hourmeter and back-lighting.
• Energy saving long life LED lights offer low energy consumption.
• Wide view mast with industry-leading visibility.
• Tight turning radius and excellent gradeability. 
• Excellent travelling and lifting speeds.

ATN- FORKLIFT REVIEW: TOYOTA 8FBE20 ELECTRIC

• Toyota exclusive "System Of Active Stability" SAS monitors key forklift operations, detecting and counteracting instability to help reduce the risk of tip-overs 
• Active Mast Function Controller senses and reacts to instability by limiting mast angle and speed according to the load's height and weight.
• Active Steering Synchroniser ensure that the angle of the steering wheel corresponds to the angle of the rear steered wheels.
• Operator Presence Sensing interrupts power and load handling operations if the operator is not in the normal operating position.
• Automatic Turn Speed control - controls the turn speed according to the lift height, load weight and turning radius. This contributes to enhanced travel stability.

• Emergency Power Shut-down Button switches off all power sources if this button is pressed.

• Outstanding energy efficiency has been achieved in Toyota's 8FBE 3 wheel battery electric forklift  with new motors and drivers adopted to improve operating time; this has resulted in an operating time of 20% longer compared to the predecessor 7FBE forklift model (based on 1.5 tonne 8FBE v 7FBE forklift models with same battery capacity).

• Accelerator release energy recovery system - when the accelerator is released this collects energy in the battery.
• Brake regeneration energy recovery system - when the brake is activated the energy is recovered in the battery.

• Switchback regeneration energy recovery system - during switchback the energy is recovered in the battery
• Power Keep Function keeps load handling and travel performance as the battery charge gets low, allowing continuing efficient operation.

• Power Select Function provides an optimal balance of performance and operating time.

•  Our Toyota 8FBE forklifts combine the proven performance, reliability and operability of Alternating Current (AC) Power technology. Operator comfort is key with improved visibility and ease of service.

• Ergonomically configured controls.

• 4-way adjustable Operator Restraint Suspension seat.
• Smooth start on slopes (anti-rollback feature). 

• Easy entry and exit on 8FBE forklift.

• Foot activated parking brake.

• Small diameter steering wheel.

• Large operator assist grip.

• Outstanding foot and head room.

• No motor brushes or contactors on the AC Power provides for significant reductions in parts and labour costs for maintenance.
• Outstanding tight-turn performance for effective warehouse operations.
• Low height headguard (1,980mm) makes it possible to enter and exit containers or low-height entranceways with ease.
• Built-in analyser and self-diagnostics for pinpoint troubleshooting.
• No-tool floorboard with non-slip surface.
• Easy access hydraulic level check.
