Toyota Material Handling UK is to showcase its latest range of warehouse and counterbalance forklift trucks on stand E15 at the Temperature Controlled Storage and Distribution (TCS&D) exhibition on the 18th to the 19th September 2013.

Toyota will be showcasing a range of warehouse equipment that is ideal for chilled and cold store environments plus providing advice on Toyota's sales and aftersales support.

Tony Wallis, Sales and Marketing Director for Toyota explains "Handling goods in chilled or cold storage warehouses can be more costly and companies often need greater support from their materials handling partner. At Toyota we have significant experience working with customers who operate in these environments and we provide advice not only on the more suitable trucks, but also support to help our customers work more productively".

At the exhibition Toyota will display their latest warehouse equipment including: a BT Reflex reach truck fitted with a cold store cabin, a BT Levio ride-on powered pallet truck, Toyota Traigo electric forklift and a selection of BT Lifter hand pallet trucks that are ideal for both warehousing and distribution applications.

Wallis add "Whilst chilled conditions are less extreme than those for frozen produce, it is essential to have equipment that fully meets operational demands; this is why Toyota offers a complete range of equipment - all of which are designed to work effectively in chilled operations without any modification. This means that customers have the flexibility to develop a full range of handling solutions for chilled stores without any constraint in terms of truck capability".

Visitors to TCS&D will also be able to see the unique 50:50 half prepared used forklift truck. This truck demonstrates the quality preparation that takes place at Toyota's dedicated UK fleet management centre, where trucks from Toyota's contract hire fleet are renovated for thier next life. The Toyota fleet management centre uses the same Toyota Production System (TPS) process as the new trucks, ensuring high levels of quality.
