Whether you’re moving pallets full of food, large stacks of manufacturing components or other materials ready for distribution, choosing the right powered pallet truck can mean a world of difference. We have various types of low lifters available. The choice for the right one can be led by the travel distance, the load capacity, required manoeuvrability and ergonomics, available space or needed battery operating hours.
For occasional transport of lighter goods, the BT Tyro LHE130/155 and BT Levio LWE130 powered pallet trucks are the perfect step up from manual forklifts. Ideal for moving goods in small shops, supermarkets or use onboard a lorry.
The versatile low lifters BT Levio LWE are easy to operate, compact, and safe. They can be used for goods transport up to 2.5 t in warehouses, distribution centres, stores/supermarkets, and industry. The LWI160 model, built around li-ion batteries, is highly energy-efficient and extremely manoeuvrable due to its compact chassis.
For more intense applications where high speed and acceleration are needed, the BT Levio LPE powered pallet truck is up for the job. This productive model is highly suitable for arranging goods in the marshaling area, loading/unloading lorries, longer horizontal transportation, or supplying production lines.
Built around the operator and li-ion technology, the BT Levio LSI is designed for intense pallet movement in long-distance applications in distribution centers, warehouses or production sites, while offering high levels of safety and comfort for drivers.
Hand pallet trucks can move goods in all types of applications. They are reliable, compact, intuitive to use and get the job done. So when to make the step to a powered entry-level pallet truck or stacker model? We have 4 considerations for you when to go for our BT Tyro models.
With fully powered trucks, goods can be moved quicker, with less effort for the operator, increasing efficiency and productivity.
Manual trucks don’t need charging and can be used continuously. Thanks to the Li-ion battery on the BT Tyro opportunity charging is possible, meaning any time the truck is not used, it can be charged. Even as short as a 15-minute charge, so almost continuous operation can be ensured.
An entry-level powered pallet truck can make light-duty work smooth, fast and with low strain on the operator. The easy-to-use tiller arm will support the operator when lifting and driving.
Hand pallet trucks are easy to access, any driver can just take the truck. With a powered truck you can make sure only authorised drivers can operate the truck thanks to the PIN code in the handle. The emergency stop button located on the handle adds another safety feature.
On powered models, functions such as creep speed for easy movement in tight areas and speed reduction when cornering, are available.
The initial investment of a light-duty powered model is higher than a manual truck. But you’ll get a lot of benefits in return, and the flexibility of a powered truck.
