A Trusted Partnership Born of Innovation
Toyota Material Handling has been a leader in the U.S. forklift market for more than 50 years. In an ongoing effort to innovate, Toyota Material Handling is proud to partner with Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company, to offer material handling systems integrations. Together, the North American leaders in forklift manufacturing and automation technology work as one to deliver quality solutions in a new era of material handling.
Making the Case for Innovative Material Handling Technologies
In a world where customers want their goods delivered faster and more accurately than ever, innovative material handling technologies are helping shippers meet those expectations while improving their own operational productivity and profitability. Through their ongoing partnership and dedication to providing state-of-the-art material handling innovations, Toyota Material Handling and Bastian Solutions, A Toyota Advanced Logistics Company, can help your operation down to the parcel level and can make pallet handling more efficient.
The Intelligent Answer to Repetitive Tasks
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and robotic forklifts are increasingly becoming a mainstay in manufacturing facilities and distribution center operations where tasks are highly standardized, repetitive, and easily accomplished without need of advanced human management. While some Automated Guided Vehicle technologies like wire- and track-guided systems are at use in many locations today (and play an intricate role in improving efficiency), new technologies are making AGV forklifts and AGV pallet jacks an even more integral solution in your current material handling operation. Available from your Toyota Forklift dealer in partnership with Bastian Solutions, a Toyota Advanced Logistics company, AGVs are advancing to learn your current infrastructure and react to changes in environment.

Automated Guided Vehicles will gain widespread use as material handling operations discover more innovative ways to integrate warehouse technologies. Knowing what your options are for driverless transport systems can help you decide why and when an investment in an automated forklift system can lead to increased efficiency.
- Vision Guided Vehicles: VGVs, such as Bastian Solutions’ Pallet Truck VGV and Tugger VGV, integrate easily into your existing infrastructure by using 3D modelling technology to build a map of your facility and operate within it – no wire guidance needed.
- Wire, RFID, and Tape AGVs: These wire guided and similar driverless vehicles follow a specified path generally built into or taped to the floor of the facility. This technology is also used for Tugger AGVs and Cart AGVs.
- Laser AGVs: Laser AGVs respond to multiple fixed points identified by mounted or integrated laser technology, allowing for a more flexible integration than Wire AGVs.
