Toyota boosts short term hire fleet

Toyota Material Handling has expanded its 3,000 strong fleet of short-term hire trucks to include 250 new counterbalance forklifts to help satisfy demand for planned and emergency short-term hire needs.

The new trucks include Toyota's latest range of Tonero engine-powered forklifts and Traigo electricpowered forklifts, which are fitted with Toyota System of Active Stability, helping to improve safety and productivity.

The new counterbalance forklift trucks were delivered at the start of the New Year and are available for hire now.

Alan Sowersby, business solutions director for Toyota Material Handling UK said: “Often customers need shortterm hire trucks as an emergency replacement or if they have unexpected demand, therefore they need a reliable and efficient supplier.

“By analysing our customers' requirements, we have increased our fleet in the areas where we have the most demand.”

Toyota is able provide a wide range of short-term hire options from a single day to several months, including hand pallet trucks, counterbalance forklifts and a range of warehouse trucks.
