What We Provided

3t Gas Toyota Counterbalance

THE REASON BEHIND THE SOLUTION

The customer needed a refurbished Toyota gas counterbalance forklift for yard handling on sloped terrain — safety and stability were the headline priorities. A new machine wasn’t the right fit; a properly refurbished Toyota gave the same capability at a smarter price point.

Toyota’s SAS (System of Active Stability) was central to the spec. It brings automatic speed reduction when cornering, mast front-tilt angle control to stop the load tipping forward, and rear-tilt speed control — three features that make a genuine difference when the yard has a slope to it.

A cabin with canvas sides was added to give the operator weather protection during year-round outdoor use. The result is a confident, safer working setup that meets the day-to-day demands of a busy roofing merchant.

Project FAQs

Why choose a 3 tonne gas counterbalance forklift for an outdoor yard?

A 3 tonne LPG (gas) counterbalance forklift is a strong option for busy yards handling heavier pallets and awkward loads, especially where you need consistent power and quick refuelling for all-day use.

What is Toyota SAS and how does it help on sloped yards?

Toyota System of Active Stability (SAS) is designed to improve truck stability and operator control. SAS includes speed reduction when cornering, which can help reduce risk during turns on challenging surfaces.

How do mast controls improve confidence with heavy loads?

SAS includes mast front tilt angle control and mast rear tilt speed control, supporting safer mast movement and improving confidence when transporting heavier loads.

Is a refurbished Toyota forklift a smart investment?

Refurbished trucks can be a cost-effective way to upgrade while still getting a reliable, workshop-checked machine. Locators regularly supplies refurbished Toyota counterbalance forklifts to reduce lead times and keep customers productive.

Why add a cabin and canvas sides?

For forklifts used outdoors, a cab and canvas sides help protect operators from wind and rain, improving comfort and supporting safer operation during frequent yard use.
