Why choose an electric counterbalanced truck?
A counterbalanced truck is ideal to use when handling heavier loads. The truck counterbalances the weight of the load on the forks with a weight in the rear end of the truck, which increases the stability and driver safety. Our range of electric CBs are available with different battery capacities and lift capacity up to 8 t. Since the trucks are battery driven they’re suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage.

5 questions to ask before you buy
Counterbalanced trucks
What makes a good counterbalanced truck? How do you know which one will suit the job you use it for, and withstand long-term use? And if you’re buying on a budget, how can you get the best possible value for money?
Our guide will help you buy once and buy right. It’ll identify the most important questions to ask and factors to consider. And under each question, there’s a checklist of things that you must know before you buy a CB.
- What type of load are you transporting?
- How much will the CB be used?
- What environment will the truck be working in?
- What kind of space are you manoeuvring into?
- What features will the drivers appreciate?

Residual capacity guide
When buying a counterbalanced truck, you have to be sure the truck can handle your load. A truck's rated lift capacity is how heavy it can lift during perfect conditions. Within daily operations, the shape and weight of your load can differ, which impacts the actual lift capacity.
To make sure you buy the right truck for your operations we've created this guide, where we'll tell you what you need to know about a truck's residual capacity by answering these questions:
- What is the difference between nominal capacity and residual capacity of a forklift?
- What is a load centre and how does it influence load handling?
- How much can a forklift actually lift?
- How do you determine the right capacity for your forklift?
Truck stability
System of Active Stability
Toyota SAS is fitted as standard on the entire Toyota Traigo family. SAS actively contributes to workplace safety by protecting your operators, your goods and trucks while reducing operational cost.
- SAS Mast Control defines the optimised mast speed and angle to guarantee safe goods handling.
- SAS Fork Levelling Control adjusts the forks to the desired level just by pushing a button.
- SAS Swing Lock Cylinder (on 4-wheel range) ensures stability when taking curves to protect operators without compromising on productivity. On the 3-wheel range, SAS optimises the driving speed when taking curves.
- SAS Steering Synchroniser automatically aligns the steering wheel knob with the position of the rear wheels, offering higher ergonomics.
