A pump unit and fork frame, nothing more. A Toyota Lifter always comes in handy, whatever the operation. Our high-quality hand pallet trucks are proven to be the most durable – lasting up to five times as long as other trucks in work-cycle tests.
Back in 1947, Ivar Bryntse, also associated with the creation of the Euro pallet, came up with the idea of the hydraulic pallet lifter. Exactly twenty years later, industrial designer Rune Monö presented the lifter’s ground-breaking and often copied design, setting the world standard for the hand pallet truck.
Based on Toyota’s Kaizen principle, the Toyota Lifter design has been overhauled several times over the years to continuously improve its performance and it has become a universal truck suitable for all types of applications with million units worldwide.
We strive to reduce environmental impact throughout the product life cycle, from design, manufacture and operation, through to end-of-life recycling. The durability and long-lasting performance of the Toyota Lifter hand pallet trucks reduce their environmental effect, making them the number one hand pallet truck choice.
With our aim to reach Net Zero across scope 1, 2 & 3 by FY2041, we are constantly looking for alternatives to reduce the environmental impacts of our products. For instance, by introducing the use of recycled steel, produced with fossil-free electricity and fuels, for our most common hand pallet trucks, we reduce the carbon footprint significantly compared to products made with virgin steel. Our journey continues by exploring future opportunities of carbon-free alternatives and solutions for our truck range.
The Toyota Lifter manual pump truck is a tool you can rely on. Carefully assembled and continuously tested, it’s proven that other hand pallet trucks wear out and need to be replaced up to five times quicker than a Toyota Lifter. Regular hand pallet truck maintenance is essential for maximising uptime and guaranteeing the safety of your workforce. Manual pallet trucks from Toyota have a long service life because they are built with up to 12 greasing points to allow lubrication, they have solid pushrods and robotised welding of the frames. Convinced of its quality, we offer a 99-year guarantee on the fork frame.
A timeless legacy that has positively affected multiple generations and will continue to influence generations to come.
