Leaner, cleaner Tonero
New Tonero Stage V Hydrostatic Forklift Truck
Introducing the new and improved range of Toyota Tonero hydrostatic IC engine powered counterbalance forklifts. Available in capacities of 1.5 - 3.5 tonnes and with the Toyota designed and manufactured Stage V engine.
What's Stage V?
What's stage V for engine-powered forklifts?
Stage V, or Stage 5, is the new European Emission Regulation for Non-Road Mobile Machinery, including forklift trucks ((EU) 2016/1628), which came into force on 1 January 2019. The purpose of Stage 5 is to reduce the emissions from combustion engines by lowering the limit of exhaust levels of diesel and gasoline (LPG) engines.
What do I have to do as a customer?
We made sure our engines are compliant, offering you Toyota quality and performance as always, with the lowest impact on total cost of ownership (TCO). Toyota Material Handling continues to work with Toyota engines that offer all advantages regards to durability, parts availability, ease of serviceability, and many more. Contact your local Toyota sales representative for more advice on choosing the right forklifts for your application.

- The Toyota Stage V engine, built in-house now includes a diesel particulate filter (DPF) for cleaner material handling operations.
What's Hydrostatic Transmission?
How does hydrostatic transmission work?
The engine drives the hydraulic pump. A swash plate allows hydraulic flow. In neutral position, the truck is held stationary. The hydrostatic transmission transforms engine power by providing fluid coupling between the engine and hydraulic motors on the front wheels. This allows the truck to begin motion.
Benefits of hydrostatic transmission:
- Powerful engine braking and acceleration
- Pre-set driving parameters (performance/comfort/eco)
- Quick change of direction
- Independent lift and drive functionality
- Effortless load handling
- Electrical parking brake and maintenance-free wet disc brake
- Stop-on-ramp
Q&A
Hydrostatic transmission is most suitable in applications where forklifts operate short but intense runs as it gives operators increased control. It is also beneficial in applications that operate their forklifts on uneven surfaces as the transmission keeps the wheels in traction mode at all times.
The Stage V engine is equipped with a diesel particulate filter which means it surpasses the Euro Stage V regulations ensuring lean and clean material handling operations. Euro Stage V emissions standards came into play in 2019 and apply to all non-road engines and equipment.
Hydrostatic transmission forklifts are particularly popular in applications where the truck is operated on uneven surfaces as the transmission keeps the wheels in traction mode at all times. Because there is less pedal operating required, operators tend to have more control in short, intense runs.
Torque converter transmission forklifts are usually the best option if your operation requires long runs on a regular basis. Similar to a car torque converter transmission allows you to control fuel consumption through efficient use of the throttle.
