Description

Available in LPG from 2.0 to 3.5t, the new Tonero IC counterbalanced trucks with hydrostatic transmission complements the diesel range previously introduced by Toyota. The trucks boast unmatched stability thanks to the integrated Toyota System of Active Stability (SAS) and low centre of gravity, outstanding all-round visibility for increased material handling safety and high reliability granted by the Toyota Production System (TPS) manufacturing.
The Tonero HST has been created to respond to the market needs and places drivers in focus by offering a wider choice. It addresses the individual driving preferences. The trucks allow for quick change of direction when needed. Productivity is enhanced by the combination of powerful engine braking and acceleration, independent lift and drive functionality, and effortless load handling. Features such as stop-on-ramp, electrical parking brake and maintenance-free wet disk brakes are typically integrated into the 2.0-3.5t Tonero HST models. Furthermore, the trucks come with the complete SAS package; fork levelling, SAS swing lock cylinder, control of tilt speed and control of tilt angle, and synchronized steering.
In addition, the Tonero HST LPG drivers benefit from pre-set driving parameters that allow them to accelerate easily and safely with auto braking when needed. Last but not least, the engine, the heart of the truck, has been specifically built for industrial application purposes.

Innovations

The Tonero HST LPG 2.0-3.5t trucks have been built with a unique combination of hydrostatic transmission and SAS swing-lock cylinder. This gives the trucks an outstanding capacity for increasing productivity.
Another novelty is that these trucks are also equipped with constant drive speed functions. They allow the trucks to maintain a constant drive speed, depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and regardless of the floor conditions and hydraulic functions control.
The drive mode selector on the dashboard gives the driver the ability to easily adjust the acceleration and auto braking effect depending on application or personal preferences. The driver can also easily brake in daily applications without the need of using the mechanical brakes. In case of emergency, the brakes are sure to give a highly controllable, smooth and safe braking.
Toyota is also the only manufacturer to offer hydrostatic transmission with synchronized steering thanks to which the steering knob keeps a fixed position when driving straight.

Market relevance

The Tonero LPG 2.0-3.5t trucks with hydrostatic transmission are built for high level of driveability and reliability and make up a complete offer. The driver is in full control of the truck acceleration at all times as well as of the braking effect and driving speed which act independent of the lift functionality.
The trucks are capable of maintaining a constant driving speed depending on the position of the accelerator pedal and regardless of the floor conditions and hydraulic functions control.
These Tonero 2.0-3.5t HST models have been designed for high productivity and power and make no compromise when it comes to safety. The latter is enhanced thanks to their SAS features and perfect all-round visibility.

Customer benefits

The Tonero HST LPG 2.0-3.5t is an outstanding piece of industrial equipment for the drivers who prefer this kind of driving feel and comes with clear benefits in terms of productivity, ergonomics and safety. It helps customers personalise their material handling experience by giving them the freedom to choose this transmission because it suits them and their applications best.
It has been conceived to deliver maximum uptime even in the harshest conditions and lift productivity and efficiency to the next level. Toyota is the only manufacturer to design and develop its own industrial engines. Having full control over the entire production process in-house ensures high quality and exceptional efficiency of the engines and trucks. The Tonero HST LPG 2.0-3.5t benefits from this long engine-building experience and the Toyota trademark for quality, combining power with optimized fuel consumption and reduced Co2 emissions level.
The driver is less fatigued thanks to the Tonero HST’s ergonomic seats and seat mounted hydraulic controls. The steering knob of the small steering wheel remains in the same perfect position when driving straight. The powerful engine braking and acceleration are further assets for the HST drivers.
The Tonero HST LPG models are highly reliable and lead in terms of safety. With their maintenance free electrical parking brake and stop-on-ramp function and outstanding visibility, they make material handling a smooth and safe process both for driver and goods.
