Toyota Material Handling to showcase strengths at IMHX

Toyota Material Handling UK will be showcasing its strengths at IMHX 2010 by showing visitors the company's products and innovations, along with its range of services and solutions.

The Toyota Material Handling stand at IMHX will provide the first opportunity for visitors in the UK to see the full range of Toyota counterbalance forklifts and towing tractors and BT warehouse equipment together since the integration between Toyota Industrial Equipment and BT Rolatruc in 2007.

With the theme 'stronger together', Toyota Material Handling UK will demonstrate to visitors how choosing Toyota as a supply partner can help to optimise their materials handling activities.

With the largest space at IMHX, the Toyota stand will feature three live demonstration areas which will enable visitors to see the many unique product features and benefits. Combined with a full range of product displays and a seminar theatre featuring a series of master-class workshops, Toyota will show how they can help customers improve efficiency in their business.

Live demonstration areas
The stand will incorporate three live demonstration areas which will provide the opportunity to show visitors the unique benefits of the Toyota products range. The three demonstration areas will focus on different product areas including hand pallet trucks, the powered range of counterbalance forklifts and warehouse trucks and a virtual warehouse.
