By DE Editors

Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) has selected MSC Software's SimXpert Motion for the modeling and analysis of forklift structures for customized material handling equipment.

Toyota Material Handling Europe is located in Mj lby, Sweden, and provides optimized solutions that help businesses of all sizes across Europe meet today's materials handling challenges. Due to market growth in Europe and the need for equipment design customization for European customers, the engineering department needed to develop its own competency in dynamic simulation and dynamic truck behavior. They want to be able to quickly address specific customer requirements in order to better serve their markets.

"Through MSC Software's simulation technology, we are able to optimize complex welded forklift structures and validate behavior of the forklift before building any physical prototypes," said Magnus Malmberg, manager of load and structural simulation at Toyota Material Handling. "This helps us optimize product durability so we can offer high quality, customized and innovative equipment to our clients."

MSC distributor CAE Value AB was involved in the project as well.
