Buying Considerations
Power Source: Choose between 36V, 48V, or 80V systems based on your application. 80V models offer the highest performance for heavy-duty and outdoor use.
Battery Type: Lithium-ion offers faster charging, longer runtime, and lower maintenance than lead-acid. The Traigo_i is designed specifically for integrated lithium-ion.
New vs. Used: New offers latest technology (lithium-ion, telematics, SAS) and full warranty. Used offers significant savings but requires thorough inspection of hours, battery health, and maintenance history.
Capacity: Match the forklift’s capacity to your load requirements. Toyota offers electric models from 3,000 lbs to 17,500 lbs.
Regulatory Compliance: Toyota’s electric forklifts are zero-emission, making them compliant with indoor air quality regulations and California’s CARB Zero-Emission Forklift Regulation.
Telematics: MyInsights® telematics is available on many 2026 models, providing real-time fleet data and preventive maintenance insights.
