Manual handling advice

First time exhibitor Toyota will offer
companies advice on manual
handling as well as distributing free
resources to help improve safety in
the workplace. The Health & Safety
events are an important part of
Toyota’s safety campaign ‘Taking Care
with Toyota’, which has been
designed to help companies reduce
injury and accidents in the
workplace. During 2012 Toyota will
be providing customers and
prospects with advice on safety in
relation to materials handling
equipment, plus distributing a range
of free safety resources.

Tony Wallis, sales and marketing
director for Toyota Material Handling
UK, says: “Promoting health and
safety in the workplace is important
to Toyota and these Health & Safety
events provide the ideal platform for
us to demonstrate how our products
can help to reduce the risk of manual
handling and improve safety at work.”
The stands will feature a range of
manual and powered pallet trucks
designed to help with manual
handling. These include a BT Pro
Lifter hand pallet truck that requires
up to 67% less start up effort than a
conventional hand pallet truck, a BT
High Lifter hand pallet truck which
features an ergonomic work station
and the compact BT Levio powered
pallet truck, all designed to move
loads safely and efficiently.

A number of free safety resources
that provide tips for forklift safety,
manual handling and the correct
operation of equipment will also be
available on the stand for visitors.
