Toyota Industrial Equipment UK and BT Rolatruc have now combined their operations to create Toyota Material Handling UK, marking the start of an exciting new era for the UK material handling industry.

The new company combines the strengths of the highly successful Toyota and BT organisations, leaving it ideally placed to deliver the very highest levels of customer service through a coordinated, efficient and solutions-driven approach.



The new operation offers both Toyota and BT products to customers either direct from Toyota Material Handling UK or through a dealer network. It serves customers better by improving the range and quality of products and services available as well as being a more efficient operation.

The new organisation is led by Mike Mathias (Managing Director) and Steve Hodkinson (Deputy Managing Director), supported by a senior management team drawn from the two companies.

Mike Mathias said:

“The two management teams have worked very hard to ensure that this has been and will continue to be a very smooth transition for both customers and team members. We will use the benefits of the combined organisation to provide our customers with the best possible service.”

Steve Hodkinson said:

“The bringing together of the Toyota and BT brands under one roof represents the most significant development in the UK materials handling industry for many years.”

Toyota Material Handling UK will be investing strongly in additional resources to enable it to reach its objectives and initial plans indicate the need to recruit more than 200 additional sales and service staff throughout the UK to support this growth...

Toyota Industrial Equipment has extended its range of electric lift trucks with the introduction of the 7FBMF-S, a high-speed version of its four-wheel, electric counterbalanced forklift which will further enhance productivity for customers.



Capable of a top speed of 21 kph, the Toyota 7FBMF-S is particularly beneficial for operations where lift trucks have to travel over long distances. Transportation times between pick up and deposit of goods are significantly reduced leading to increased productivity.

Dave Moore, National Customer and Sales Support Manager at Toyota Industrial Equipment comments:

“The 7FBMF-S provides increased speed with leading levels of safety. It is ideal for cross-docking operations where quick sortation and movement of goods is required. It may also provide a solution for companies that use engine trucks intensively and now need an alternative to reduce noise and fuel emissions.”

Efficiency can be further improved when the Toyota 7FBMF-S is used in conjunction with Toyota’s exclusive side exit battery transfer system. This system means batteries are changed using a side exit on the lift truck, ensuring a simple but fast change over and allowing the operator to continue to use the truck at all times.

To provide an optimum mix of speed, safety and comfort the 7FBMF-S features state-of-the-art technology including Toyota’s unique System of Active Stability (SAS), the world’s first active safety system for forklifts that dynamically protects the driver and the load, and Toyota’s Operator Total Care (OTC) package which ensures the driver is as comfortable and productive as possible.

Also included is Toyota’s AC²Power System comprising a compact AC controller and AC motors to maximise power management and ensure optimum working efficiency.

Toyota's 7-Series large capacity electric forklifts have been designed to maximize safety and productivity. They combine a AC (Alternating Current) drive system and the Toyota System of Active Stability™ (SAS) to extend battery shift life.

Forklift safety

• Toyota SAS monitors key forklift operations, detecting and counteracting instability to help reduce the risk of tipovers
• When it senses instability, the Active Control Rear Stabilizer locks the rear axle to help prevent lateral tipovers
• Active Mast Function Controller senses and controls mast angle and rear tilt speed according to the load's height and weight

Forklift Productivity/Performance

• Power Keep Function allows the 7-Series Electric to maintain higher levels of performance and productivity throughout the entire work cycle, even when the battery level is low
• SAS Automatic Fork Leveling Control levels forks with the ground for easier pallet retrieval
• AC drive system, available in 36 or 48 volt configuration, generates quicker acceleration, faster top speeds and higher output than DC motors
• Standard Load Handling Chopper allows greater programmability and controllability of the hydraulic functions, while reducing current draw and increasing hydraulic motor dependability
• Wide-view mast allows operators to see the forktips in any position, helping enhance safety and reduce operator fatigue
• Automatic shut off saves battery power by turning off the truck after 15 minutes of idle time to extend battery shift life

Forklift Comfort/Ergonomics

• Cowl-mounted hydraulic controls allow for comfortable, "eyes forward" operation
• Dual operator assist grips combined with the cowl-mounted controls accommodate easy entry/exit from both sides of the truck
• Low, wide punch plate step on both sides provide sure, comfortable footing
• Electric shift lever offers fingertip control for fast and easy direction changes
• On demand, Electronic Hydraulic Power Steering (EHPS) provides quiet, responsive operation, reduced operator fatigue and increased power steering durability
• Heavy duty, non-slip floormat reduces noise and vibration for a smooth, quiet and comfortable ride

Ease of Toyota Forklift Service

• AC drive system is virtually maintenance free to save you time and money
• Battery slide-out option features aluminum bronze slides and drop-in entry/exit rollers for easier replacement
• Right side panel allows for easy access to the controller, while the left side panel offers access to the hydraulic motor
• No-tool floorboard lifts out easily for daily operator checks
• Self diagnostics, a built-in analyzer and maintenance hour meter combine to make trouble shooting quick and easy

Toyota Industrial Equipment (TIE) announces the Toyota 4Y-ECS - a engine that offers enhanced performance with increased horsepower and torque, without compromising the long life, reliability and fuel efficiency users have come to expect from the standard 4Y engine.



The optional 4Y-ECS engine will be offered in a selected range of 7-Series Toyota forklifts - cushion tire internal combustion, as well as the pneumatic tire IC (internal combustion), in the 4,000 lb. through to the 6,500 lb. capacity range.



The electronically controlled governor system has fewer moving parts than a mechanical system, making it more efficient and easier to maintain. The Toyota 4Y-ECS' self-diagnostic system simplifies planned maintenance activities.
