Animal attraction

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.
