A Toyota high reach forklift—commonly called a reach truck—is an electric narrow-aisle forklift designed for high-density warehouse storage. Unlike standard counterbalance forklifts, it uses a pantograph mechanism to extend loads into pallet racking and features baselegs for stability, allowing for tighter turning and lift heights exceeding 40 feet. Toyota reach trucks are high lift forklifts with load capacities ranging from 1.2 up to 2.5 tonnes, suitable for pallet stacking up to 13m in manufacturing sites or warehouses.
Toyota Reflex Series: The High-Performance Lineup
The Toyota Reflex RRE series is Toyota's latest generation of advanced reach forklifts, developed for intensive stacking applications focusing on productivity, reliability, ergonomics, and safety. Available in five models with load capacities from 1.4 to 2.5 tonnes and lift heights up to 13 meters.
Key Reflex Series Models:
Model Load Capacity Max Lift Height Key Application
RRE140 1.4 tonnes Up to 13 m High-performance stacking
RRE160 1.6 tonnes Up to 13 m High-performance stacking
RRE180 1.8 tonnes Up to 13 m Intensive warehouse applications
RRE200 2.0 tonnes Up to 13 m Intensive warehouse applications
RRE250H 2.5 tonnes Up to 13 m High-capacity stacking
For high-performance applications, Toyota reach trucks offer load capacities from 1.4 to 2.5 tonnes, high-speed operation up to 14 km/h, and class-leading visibility for safe working at elevated height.
8FBR Series: The Versatile Workhorse
The Toyota 8FBR series offers nine models ranging from 1.0 to 2.5-tonne payload. It features Stable Suspension Control, a system similar to the System of Active Stability (SAS) used on Toyota's IC and electric counterbalance forklifts, providing higher levels of stability when turning or handling loads extended on its reach legs. The electric stand-on reach truck features a small turning radius and right-angle stacking aisle width to save space in the warehouse.

Key Features Across the Lineup
Total View Concept – Improved visibility through a low front panel, clear view mast and fork carriage, and a visibility window in the overhead guard post.
Transitional Lift Control – Toyota's patented system ensures completely smooth, shock-free lifting and lowering, even at maximum speed, giving drivers more control over the load.
Intelligent Energy Sources – Available with Toyota's own modular lithium-ion solution, offering Standard, Intensive, or Max energy packs to fit your operations and charging habits.
Tilting Cab Option – Available on the Reflex E-model, the cabin automatically tilts above a certain height for increased visibility of the load and reduced neck strain on the operator.
Interactive Touchscreen Display – Displays speed control, lift height, and overload warnings to make load handling operations easier and safer.
Optimized Performance Controls – New Optimized Cornering Control, Optimized Reach Control, and Optimized Speed Control when the mast is reached out.
Pin Code or Smart Access – Prevents unauthorized use.
I_Site Fleet Management – Optional system for fleet management and operational insights.
Cold Storage Version – Available for cold store applications.
The bottom line: Toyota high reach forklifts range from entry-level models with 1.2–1.6 tonnes capacity and 8.5m lift height to high-performance Reflex models with 1.4–2.5 tonnes capacity and 13m lift height. Key features include pantograph reach mechanism, baseleg stability, Transitional Lift Control, tilting cab options, and lithium-ion battery compatibility. The 8FBR series offers nine models from 1.0–3.0 tonnes capacity with Stable Suspension Control.
