The Toyota Electric Forklift 7F Series is an electric forklift product launched by Toyota Motor Corporation. Below is a detailed introduction to it:
Models and Load Capacities
- 7FB Series: The load capacity ranges from 1.0 ton to 3.5 tons. For example, the toyota electric forklift 7FB10 model has a load capacity of 1000kg, the toyota electric forklift 7FB30 model has a load capacity of 3000kg, and the toyota electric forklift 7FBJ35 model can reach a load capacity of 3500kg.
- 7FBCU Series: Classified as large electric forklifts, their load capacity ranges from 8000lb (approximately 3628.7kg) to 12000lb (approximately 5443.1kg).
Performance Features
Power and Energy Efficiency
It adopts an AC drive system, which features high energy utilization efficiency. This system enables smooth acceleration and deceleration, extends battery service life, and reduces charging frequency. For instance, each subsystem of the 7FBEU Series is specially designed to save or regenerate electricity, maximizing work efficiency between each charge.
Stability
- Active Stability System: By sensing information such as cargo weight, mast lifting height, and lateral acceleration, it locks the rear axle when necessary during sharp turns, high lifting, and heavy loading, thereby improving the left-right stability of the vehicle.
- Mast Tilt Angle Control: Based on the mast lifting height and cargo weight, it automatically controls the mast tilt angle to ensure it does not exceed the maximum angle for maintaining stability, and automatically stops tilting forward at the critical point.
- Mast Tilt Speed Control: It automatically controls the forward and backward tilt speed of the mast—slowing down when lifting at a high height and speeding up when lifting at a low height—to prevent cargo from falling.
Operational Comfort
- Spacious Operating Space: It provides a roomy operator compartment with improved headroom and legroom, which helps reduce operator fatigue.
- Convenient Operational Controls: Ergonomic design is adopted, such as adjustable armrests and mini-joystick fingertip controls, making operation more comfortable and effortless. It is equipped with full-hydraulic steering synchronization control, achieving a 100% rear-wheel parking and reversing rate, with precise steering angle control and quick operational response.
Safety
- Active Mast Control System: It can detect and respond to changes in the forklift's operating status, enhancing longitudinal stability when handling cargo of different sizes and weights, and during high lifting operations.
- Fork Automatic Leveling Control: Press the automatic leveling button on the tilt joystick; when tilting the mast forward or backward, the forks can automatically stop at the horizontal position, which improves work efficiency while reducing the cargo damage rate.
- Multiple Safety Interlock Devices: For example, the key-down interlock and drift control system prevent the forks from accidentally lowering when the forklift is in the "off" position; the return-to-neutral function prevents accidental operation when the forklift is in the "on" position.
Maintenance
Easy Inspection and Repair
It is equipped with a self-diagnostic function, a built-in analyzer function, and a programmable maintenance hour meter, making troubleshooting fast and simple. The right panel allows easy access to the hydraulic motor controller, and the left panel provides access to the drive motor controller. The tool-free floor panel can be lifted in seconds, facilitating daily inspections.
Durable Components
The AC drive system requires almost no maintenance, reducing maintenance time and costs, and increasing the forklift's uptime.
Application Scenarios
- Warehouse Logistics: Whether for general warehouse cargo handling or efficient sorting operations in e-commerce warehouses, the 7F Series forklifts, with their flexible maneuverability and various load capacities, can meet the needs of various cargo handling and stacking tasks.
- Manufacturing Industry: In industries such as automobile manufacturing and electronic equipment manufacturing, they are used for raw material handling, material distribution between production lines, and finished product warehousing. Their quiet and pollution-free characteristics make them suitable for use in workshops.
- Food and Beverage Industry: Due to their zero-emission and low-noise features, they do not cause pollution or interference to the production and storage environment of food and beverages, and can be used for cargo loading, unloading, handling, and warehousing operations.
