A high lift capacity forklift that can comfortably squeeze into railcars and other tight spaces? It’s a major small miracle. One made possible by a vertically extended counterweight that frees the Box Car Special to work in confined areas without sacrificing lifting power. It’s a design that opens up new opportunities in racking, space planning and shipping. You can think big and small, at the same time.

The Toyota Box Car Special Forklift is an industry-leading solution for material handling within railcars. With a vertically higher counterweight, the Box Car Special is able to navigate in tight spaces while maintaining a high lift capacity. Also popular in specialty applications that require higher capacity lifts in tighter spaces, the Box Car Special is a specialty model forklift that opens new opportunities in racking, space planning and shipping.
