LPG and Gasoline Powered Trucks

The Toyota 8-Series lift truck available from American Warehouse Systems is the world’s cleanest internal combustion lift truck available.  The 8-Series not only greatly exceeds the 2007 federal EPA emission standards but also meets California’s 2010 emission standards three years early.  Toyota’s new LPG and Gas trucks also offer significant advancements in durability, ergonomics and overall cost of operation. All 8-Series lift trucks sold in North America are produced in Toyota’s manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ind.

A New Standard in Emissions Reduction
Toyota's 4Y engine features an exclusive fuel system design that automatically adjusts and optimizes the air-fuel mixture ratio. Because of this unique design, all Toyota 8-Series gasoline, LPG and CNG configured models will produce 70% less smog-forming emissions than the 2007 federal EPA standards.

Visibility Enhanced
Once in the seat, operators driving the 8-Series will immediately notice significant visibility enhancements. By integrating a dash-mounted digital display, low profile cowl, repositioned lower mast cross-member, along with a number of other changes, the 8-Series has been able to achieve industry leading fork tip visibility. The wide-view mast, angled overhead guard bars and ergonomically designed operator assist grips combine to give the 8-Series exceptional forward and upward visibility.

Proven Safety Benefits
According to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lift truck accidents are the second-leading cause of fatalities in the private sector, with highway vehicles being the first. Like its predecessor, the 8-Series continues to offer Toyota’s exclusive System of Active Stability™ (SAS). OSHA mandated operator lift truck training, along with Toyota’s revolutionary SAS design, have combined to help decrease overturn fatalities per lift truck by 13.6 percent. (2)

Reduced Maintenance
Toyota incorporated many ease-of-service features into the 8-Series to save customers time and money. With the optional multifunction digital display, the 8-Series lift truck performs self diagnostics through a built-in analyzer, which eliminates the need for a hand-held unit. When the truck is in Analyzer Mode, it displays the status of the electrical system and allows instantaneous access to information detected by the controller, which reduces down time. The 8-Series also features a programmable planned maintenance hour meter that notifies operators of the need for routine maintenance and service via the digital display monitor.

In addition routine maintenance areas are easily accessible with features such as the one-touch fuel tank bracket, and the no-tool floorboard that lifts out in seconds to expedite daily operator checks. Unlike many of today’s lift truck designs, the 8-Series hydraulic filter is located outside of the hydraulic tank, ensuring easier service and replacement during recommended service intervals.
