Pets at Home has chosen Toyota Material Handling UK as materials handling supplier at its new DC in Northampton. The fleet supplied encompasses 40+ counterbalance and warehouse trucks including Toyota Tonero engine-powered forklifts, BT Reflex reach trucks, BT Levio ride-on powered pallet trucks and BT Optio low-level order pickers.

The counterbalance units feature Toyota's System of Active Stability (SAS), which constantly monitors forklift operations and automatically takes corrective action when it senses factors that could lead to truck or load instability, and the tilting cab on the reach trucks helps to reduce operator neck strain and fatigue.

All the trucks are fitted with a Toyota Wireless Information System, which collects and sends information straight from the truck to a central management system.
