Smooth transitions achieved by Toyota reach truck

The video shows plastic bottles balanced on the forks of the reach truck. The bottles are then effortlessly lifted and lowered thanks to the trucks TLC function. TLC is a system on BT Reflex reach trucks for load lifting that ensures that transition between lift stages is smooth and shock-less.

TLC is a re-think of the way that the hydraulic system is controlled. Rather than depending on the differential pressure in the stages of the lifting systems, the process is controlled by electronic valves. This results in higher productivity and safer load handling, a clear and unique commercial advantage. The lift speed is increased, yet up to 25% less energy is required as the lift motor is running at a constant high speed.

Mark Ogden, warehouse product manager explains: “We think using plastic bottles in the video is a fun and accessible way to show our customers the benefits of TLC, you witness first-hand how easy the bottles are blown off yet they stay stable even when they are lifted 11 metres in the air. In real life pallets will be filled with important assets and the video shows how much care the BT Reflex reach truck provides.”
