It usually means that the goods are moved by the traditional forklift. However, accessibility solutions such as tractors can be applied to a wider range of applications.
Let's first explain what a tractor is. These vehicles can pull one or more load carriers and provide an ideal horizontal transportation solution to transport materials, such as pallets or items, throughout the facility. They provide an effective way to move many goods at the same time.
Now let's see what they can bring to your material handling operation?
Efficient and streamlined material handling
Based on the mature Toyota production system, Toyota material handling applies its lean method principles to the logistics process with the same objectives - eliminating waste, maximum added value and total quality. Under the guidance of this lean thinking, everything can be transferred in time to produce a smooth workflow. The tractor is the perfect choice in this regard. It transports multiple goods from one station to another in a row of carriers. Automatic traction is the next step in lean transportation, providing higher productivity, reducing waste and more sustainable material handling.
The right combination increases flexibility
The choice of tractors and vehicles is very wide, enabling you to find the combination that best suits your needs and goals.
Typical uses and Applications
● the tractor can move palletized and non palletized goods - the best solution for order sorting and item handling
● the load capacity of the tractor ranges from 1 ton to 50 tons. It adopts 3-wheel and 4-wheel chassis. It can be used indoors or outdoors. The tractor is the best solution for all horizontal load movements in any application.
● the walking tractor in Toyota tractor W series is developed to pull the roll on / roll off cage and trailer of less than 2 tons to replace manual operation and improve the work efficiency of operators.
● N-series and S-Series (1 to 5 tons) standing tractors can be used in a variety of applications, such as e-commerce and online order traction and order picking, as well as a wide range of Simai tractors for light to medium-sized industrial and logistics applications.
● passenger Simai tractors (3 to 50 tons) can be used in a very wide range of applications. Small and medium-sized tractors are mainly used in industrial and logistics applications, while large tractors are ideal for airport cargo and baggage handling and heavy industry. The R series also includes platform tractors.
Traction for light and medium-sized industrial and logistics applications
Station Driven Simai tractors (3 to 50 tons) can be used in a very wide range of applications. The small and medium-sized ones are mainly used in industrial and logistics applications, while the larger ones are very suitable for airport cargo and baggage handling and heavy industries. The R series also includes platform tractors.
A safe mode of transportation
A tractor pulls goods, whether pallets or items. There is no need to use forks to handle materials, which is safer for people in the workplace and reduces the risk of damage to any goods or infrastructure. By the possibility of dragging a train of goods, the traffic in the warehouse or production area will also be reduced, so as to further improve safety.
Less mobility, less cost
The tractor can move multiple loads at the same time, which means fewer operators and equipment are required. This cost advantage, combined with the cost savings you can save by reducing damage, provides an advantage for this Forkless solution.
Support electric steering
The tractor, which consists only of electric vehicles, is a clean solution that helps you move any load to the right position at the right time. Equipped with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries, you will get the power and speed you need through the correct traction solution.
Intuitive drive
It is convenient to get on and off, and all models are easy to operate. A larger tractor feels very similar to driving a car. With comfortable seat position, good omni-directional vision, intuitive controls and closed cabin options when needed, the trailer range will provide you with a high degree of comfort under any working conditions.
With our long-term and mature experience in lean manufacturing, we know that Toyota traction solutions can change the way materials are handled. The benefits of reducing manpower, improving safety and saving time and money are strong arguments for considering fork free material handling.
