TOYOTA BT RAE160 AUTOPILOT REACH TRUCK – Advanced Automation The RAE ‘Autopilot’ series is a hybrid AGV based on a manual Reach Truck with a fully integrated navigation and safety system. The RAE ‘Autopilot’ series attains all the reliability and serviceability as with the manual version and inherits all the added benefits of an automated vehicle.

Analysis of projects completed from around the globe using the RAE ‘Autopilot’ series yielded a number of efficiency and productivity gains. Firstly, the use of the RAE in high bay racking environments greatly improved the safety of the operation and in conjunction reduced the amount of damaged product significantly.

Secondly the RAE ‘Autopilot’ enables warehouse operations to run a third shift under minimal supervision, this assists the warehouse operations to perform replenishments and non-peak tasks throughout the night without the need for a complete shift of labour.

As a result, this increases the throughput of the warehouse as the high demand tasks can be put into focus during the day shifts.

TOYOTA BT LEVIO LWE130 – Upgrading from a hand pallet jack to an electric pallet jack We all know that excessive force used during push, pull or carry tasks can cause injury, so the use of mechanical devices is a good idea. The most common injuries stemming from manual pallet jacks include strain injuries to the lower back, shoulder, arm muscles and joints. The forces needed for initial movement and to sustain motion are recommended not to exceed 320N (N= Newtons) for men and 220N for women to avoid injury.

Forces applied to the body when stopping and starting a manual pallet jack are virtually eliminated when moving to a powered (electric) pallet jack such as the Toyota Levio LWE130.

The LWE130 powered pallet jack with its ergonomic steering and outstanding manoeuvrability is perfectly suited for back of a truck use, warehouse or back of store applications. The Click-To-Creep function gives it even more flexibility in those tight areas where every inch counts. The LWE130 W series provides the operator with increased safety and a new level of productivity in low-intensive applications.
