Toyota Material Handling honored for design

Toyota Material Handling’s 80V Electric Pneumatic Forklift – designed and built in Europe – was named a 2023 GOOD DESIGN Award recipient.

“The Good Design Award not only expands awareness in the design community, but it also highlights the attention to quality, usability, aesthetics and ergonomics in Toyota products around the world,” said Greg Smiley, Toyota Material Handling North America’s Head of Design.

Recognized in the award was the forklift’s multifunction display system helps enhance efficiency by notifying the operator of battery capacity and operating time warnings while facilitating rapid diagnostics to prevent unplanned downtime. Toyota’s System of Active Stability (SAS)™ engages instantly to stabilize the rear axle if the system senses the forklift is in a situation that could lead to instability.

The forklift also features a full-floating cabin and full-suspension seat that helps minimize shock and vibration.

With load capacities ranging from 4,000 to 17,500 pounds, the battery-powered forklift increases efficiency by combining the power and durability of non-electric models with its top-of-the-line AC drive motors
