Adjustable-wheelbase forklifts
Toyota Forklifts adds remote-controlled, adjustable wheelbase forklifts in the 15,000- to 80,000-pound capacity range to its THD line.
Named for the horizontally adjustable wheelbase, the newest cushion-tire forklift is small enough to navigate tight spaces and strong enough to lift up to 80,000 pounds when fully extended. It adds safety and confidence to lifting large, bulky and oddly shaped loads like machinery. With its stacked plate counterweight and low-profile design, it can go into locations conventional forklifts cannot access.

The new Heavy-Duty model features rigger boom attachments for additional load support, a two-speed hydrostatic transmission and a seven-inch color LCD multi-function touch screen to increase productivity, efficiency and convenience. The wheelbase is extendable from 36 inches to 48 inches, depending on model.
They are outfitted with a quick-change fork system and the display features an onboard estimated capacity calculator. It will display engine fault code diagnostics and troubleshooting guides and can show operators and service manuals.
The engines are designed for dual-fuel use and hydraulic controls are electronically controlled. An optional wireless remote control allows remote travel, steering and lifting functions, which improves precise load handling and reduces the need for spotters.
