Choose sustainably
Our Second Life Strategy
Toyota Material Handling Europe’s Second Life strategy aims to reduce the ratio of scrapped trucks in the next years. In doing so, we decrease the scale and impact of raw materials production – which has been shown to be responsible for most of the carbon footprint of the production of a new truck. Though only new energy-efficient products are suited to high-intensity applications, we can still employ used or remanufactured trucks for lower-intensity applications or as extra vehicles on standby for use in busier periods. Refurbishment only involves the cabin and engine, not the chassis, meaning fewer raw materials are required than replacing the truck completely.
We have steadily been able to sell more used trucks and reduced the proportion of scrapped units in the Toyota truck parc by three percentage points. At the same time, we have given price-conscious customers the option to buy a quality Toyota truck at a lower price than new.
Approved Used trucks support packages
Flexible solutions for your needs
We recognise that simply supplying you with a used truck is only part of the solution. That is why every Approved Used truck comes with a choice of flexible support packages to give you additional peace of mind. These packages are adaptable to meet the needs of your particular market. In addition, you can choose from a range of support options to specify the solution that best suits your individual requirements.
Comprehensive Approved Used truck warranty plan*
For certain trucks, we offer a comprehensive approved warranty plan. This way you can have peace of mind - and focus on what really matters: your material handling.
*terms and conditions apply and may vary from country to country.
Approved Used truck ‘try before you buy plan’*
We know that sometimes it’s hard to find exactly what you need. That’s why we offer you the chance to try a used truck before you buy it. You get the possibility to try the used truck within your own operation for a trial period, going up to a maximum of 30 days or 150hrs (whichever comes first). If it’s not the right fit for you, you will just pay the agreed rental fee for this trial period.
*terms and conditions apply and may vary from country to country.
Approved Used truck 'exchange plan’*
When you buy any Approved Used truck from us, we can offer to exchange the truck for another approved used truck after a trial period with a maximum of 30 days. This gives you added confidence that you’ll find a truck that’s the right fit for your operation.
*terms and conditions apply and may vary from country to country.
Preparing our Approved Used Trucks for Use
How we ensure quality in every truck
We hold our used forklifts to the same quality standards as our new machines. We follow a rigorous set of processes to ensure your used truck is in the best possible condition before you receive it.
Inspecting
A new used truck comes in
Our used truck begins its journey with inspection where our classification is done. Here we determine whether the trucks condition is good enough to be refurbished and sold. The battery is put on charging so we can later test its capacity.
Washing
Making it presentable
The truck goes on to be washed and uploaded for sale here in the webshop so we can make it available for you online as fast as possible.
Testing
Serving the truck
We take the used truck to our workshop to make sure it meets all requirements following our high quality. Safety checks on all functions are done: forks, lifting capacity, engines and compression.
Painting
Almost as new again
The truck moves on to painting where the truck is refreshed or fully repainted, giving it a new fresh look.
Final inspection
Approved!
Finally, our workshop manager testdrives all the functions and we test the truck's capacity with full load. All signage and decals are controlled and the documentation is attached. Now it's ready to be shipped to you.
How can connected trucks add value to your business?
The future of Toyota Used forklifts
More and more trucks from the Toyota Material Handling fleet are connected ‘smart trucks’ as standard.
Soon, you’ll be able to assemble an entire fleet of used smart trucks, unlocking all the benefits of connected forklifts and giving you access to information on truck service history and requirements. Smart trucks provide you with clear, actionable data on truck usage patterns, making sure you are in total control and can improve efficiency in your operation. You will be able to measure and adjust schedules in real time, even when working remotely. Whether you are a one-truck customer or have a large fleet of forklift trucks across multiple sites globally, the result is the same: a lean operation working optimally and using truck and operator time to its fullest potential.
