Tile high Toneros
Toyota’s hydrostatic Tonero HST meets the high demands of the ceramics sector.
Italian 3PL Cooperativa Facchini Portabagagli (CFP) covers a wide range of industrial sectors from automotive and ceramics to the pharmaceutical and meat industry.
The 3PL secured 27 Toyota Tonero HST 3 ton hydrostatic trucks for use at one of its customers – a ceramics company. The ceramic tile industry is an important sector in Italy and among the most demanding ones for a forklift truck. Such applications favour the use of hydrostatic trucks due to the characteristics of the transmission.
CFP chose the Toyota Tonero HST because it offers features that are critical for the ceramics sector such as access on both sides, excellent all round visibility, easy access for maintenance, the possibility to adjust the machine settings and of course stability offered by Toyota’s System of Active Stability (SAS).
Thanks to its high efficiency in narrow places, the Tonero HST from Toyota Material Handling stands out with its quick direction change, its automatic braking effect and the simplicity in loading and unloading operations.
“We appreciate that a multinational company like Toyota is able to understand our specific needs,” says Danilo Sarti, president of CFP, “We have been working with Toyota for six years. In TMH we found a reliable and flexible partner that supports us to find the best solutions for our customers.”
