Toyota Core IC Forklift Pros & Cons

Pros:  Ideal for loading and unloading truck trailers and shipping containers.  Can be used for some outdoor applications on smooth asphalt or concrete.

Cons: Not for use on unimproved surfaces(dirt, gravel, mud).

Hands-on with the Toyota Core IC Cushion : This forklift is Toyota’s core product,  a best-seller for more than 15 years.  We have customers that have operated this forklift well into the 30,000 hour range. It is the workhorse of warehouse forklifts.

Summary: The Toyota Internal Combustion Cushion-Tire Forklift is a great value: long-lasting, low up-front costs, low maintenance costs and high up-time equals lowest overall cost-of-ownership with a Toyota Forklift! Toyota Forklifts carry some of the highest residuals, making leases a great value as well.
