Frequently asked questions
Which applications is the entry-level BT Tyro pallet truck suitable for?
Our entry-level powered pallet trucks can support your occasional horizontal transport of lighter goods. Ideal for handling goods in small shops or supermarkets, for applications on board/the tail lift of a lorry or for light-duty activities on small production sites.
Are the BT Tyro pallet trucks suitable for use on gradients?
Both our BT Tyro LHE130B and LHE150 are suitable for occasional use on slopes. For steeper gradients (up to 10%), we recommend using the LHE160 for an extra push.
How to charge the battery on this entry-level forklift range?
The BT Tyro LHE-models come with an exchangeable cassette type battery that is easy to take out and put back in place. Charging can easily be done anywhere by plugging it into a power outlet.
How long does the battery on the BT Tyro pallet trucks last?
All models in the BT Tyro range come with li-ion technology. Depending on model and application the battery can last a couple of hours and needs only a few hours to charge. A second battery can be ordered as an option on the LHE-models.

When should you consider stepping up from manual to light-duty powered trucks?
When you want to:
- boost productivity thanks to effortless manoeuvrability
- improve operator ergonomics thanks to reduced strain
- increase safety thanks to the possibility to brake in every situation
- have more flexibility, now and in the future
Can the light-duty BT Tyro pallet truck be used in cold store applications?
No, the recommended temperature range is between +5°C and +40°C.
You can order a low temperature battery as an option on the LHE150 & LHE160 for use at lower temperatures down to -18°C. For cold store applications we recommend our Toyota BT Levio and BT Staxio models that can operate at temperatures down to -30°C.
What are the main differences between the BT Tyro LHE130B, LHE150 and LHE160?
Besides the different load & battery capacity on each of the 3 models, the LHE150 can be fitted with extra options such as castor wheels and the LHE160 offers more power for increased gradeability on slopes and a slightly higher speed. The LHE130B has no additional options.
What warranty is offered on the BT Tyro range?
We offer a 12-month/1000 working hours (whichever comes first) warranty for BT Tyro units sold in your market, provided that all the required maintenance conditions have been duly followed by the customer and interventions were carried out by trained technicians, as specified in the operator manual.
