Advanced Toyota Forklift Solutions for Round-the-Clock Operations in Sunderland
At Permatt, we understand the unique challenges that come with 24/7 operations—where downtime isn’t an option, and efficiency is paramount. That’s why we’ve supplied cutting-edge Toyota forklifts that are purpose-built to perform in these demanding environments. From eco-friendly power solutions to space-optimising reach trucks, our equipment is designed to meet the exacting standards of modern material handling. This first batch of Toyota forklifts shipping to Sunderland includes:
4 x Lithium-Powered Power Pallet Trucks (Toyota LWI160)
These next-generation pallet trucks combine high performance with environmental responsibility. Key benefits include:
- Eco-Friendly Operation: Lithium-ion batteries provide a sustainable power source, significantly reducing emissions compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. This supports your company’s sustainability goals while lowering your carbon footprint.
- Faster Charging and Longer Battery Life: Lithium-ion technology enables faster, opportunity charging, minimising downtime and allowing the trucks to operate more efficiently throughout the day.
- Reduced Maintenance: With fewer moving parts and no need for water refills, lithium-powered trucks are easier and cheaper to maintain, reducing overall costs and ensuring reliable operation.
- Compact Design: The smaller size of the lithium battery allows for a more compact truck, enhancing manoeuvrability in tight spaces, such as narrow aisles and congested warehouses.
These trucks are ideal for businesses looking to improve efficiency and align with modern environmental standards, offering both operational performance and sustainability.
7 x Narrow Reach Trucks (Toyota RRE140HN)
Engineered for precision and efficiency in tight warehouse spaces, these narrow reach trucks are the ultimate solution for maximising storage capacity and boosting productivity:
- Optimised for Narrow Aisles: Designed to work effectively in spaces as narrow as 2.5 meters, these trucks are perfect for high-density storage facilities, allowing operators to reach goods quickly and safely.
- Enhanced Lifting Capacity: With a capacity of 1,400kg and a lift height of up to 12 meters, the RRE140HN reach trucks make light work of even the heaviest loads, maximising vertical storage space.
- Advanced Stability Features: Toyota’s advanced Active Stability System (SAS) comes as standard, ensuring enhanced safety and performance by automatically adjusting the truck’s parameters to maintain balance and control.
- Ergonomic Design: Designed with the operator in mind, these trucks feature ergonomic controls, comfortable seating, and intuitive interfaces that reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity during long shifts.
- Energy Efficiency: Like all Toyota forklifts, these reach trucks come with energy-efficient motors that minimise power consumption, helping reduce operational costs.
By combining precision engineering with ergonomic design, these reach trucks allow our clients to achieve greater warehouse efficiency without compromising on safety or productivity.

Customised Features for Enhanced Safety and Productivity
To meet the specific operational requirements of our customer, each of the Toyota forklifts have been custom-fitted with:
- Blue Safety Direction Lights: Enhancing visibility to promote a safer working environment.
- Worklights: Providing optimal illumination for around-the-clock operations.
- Tablet Holders: Facilitating seamless integration with warehouse management systems for real-time data access.
Supporting Continuous Operations with Spare Batteries
Given the demands of constant usage, the reach trucks are equipped with spare batteries to ensure uninterrupted operations. This further underscores our commitment to enhancing our customers’ efficiency and productivity.
A Partnership Built on Trust and Reliability
This long-term lease agreement is the result of years of trust and mutual confidence. We are proud of this repeat business and remain committed to exceeding our customer’s expectations.
