Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has announced the introduction of a range of Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV) forklifts that will begin arriving in August this year.

Toyota’s range of BT-branded AGV forklifts contain its unique Autopilot technology that provides reliable and accurate driverless operation for transporting, stacking or picking. The Autopilot system can function independently and alongside manually operated equipment.

For added flexibility the Autopilot-equipped forklifts can also be operated manually if required.

TMHA national sales and product manager – automation Tony Raggio said one of the advantages of Toyota’s AGV range is its similarity with the existing range of BT pallet trucks, order pickers and reach forklifts.

“Our AGV-enabled forklifts are essentially the same as their existing manual counterparts, with the only difference being the addition of Toyota’s
Autopilot technology,” Mr Raggio said.

“This means operators can enjoy all the reliability, safety and durability benefits expected of Toyota forklifts with the added benefits of automation –
while servicing and maintenance procedures remain unchanged.”

The key advantages of AGV forklifts include increased safety with a reduced risk of accidents, smooth workflow and greater reliability, and improved efficiency.

“We envisage the AGV forklift range making real productivity improvements in busy warehouse, storage or production environments where repetitive movements are common,” Mr Raggio said.

“Another advantage is that, as a Toyota-backed product we offer full nationwide back-up and support services – the same as for any other forklift or other item of material handling equipment.

“AGV customers in Europe are reporting significant increases in productivity as soon as they take up the technology, and we expect the ROI for the AGV forklifts to be between 12 and 36 months,” Mr Raggio said.
