Humble but powerful kit

Ideal for every-day use in all types of application, this simple but intelligent truck is frequently taken for granted.

The BT Lifter from Toyota Material Handling is a robust manual pallet truck, capable of more than 100,000 lifts over a lifetime. An undeniable achievement for a forklift that was first introduced over 60 years ago. Like all Toyota trucks, the BT Lifter range is built according to the Toyota Production System (TPS), assuring the highest levels of quality, durability and reliability. 

It’s easy to understand why it has become a staple with 3,340,000 units already sold worldwide.

Quality build

Toyota’s hand pallet trucks are designed for a long lifetime of safe, reliable service. Carefully controlled tests have measured how many cycles they can accomplish. Comparable tests have shown other hands trucks wear out and need to be replaced up to five times more often than a BT Lifter. This results in low operating costs thanks to the trucks’ long operating life and maximum up-time. 

The BT Lifter range has been designed to be highly serviceable to reduce wear and keep it functioning perfectly. These trucks are built for reliability unlike others in the market, with solid steel pushrods to reduce maintenance, increase durability and increase uptime. Alongside this, the BT Lifters also incorporate an ergonomically designed handle to increase protection, comfort and ease of use for the operator. They are supplied with a 99-year functional guarantee on the fork frame making them a sustainable and reliable material handling solution.

Versatile and user-friendly

The BT Lifter range is innovatively designed to take the effort out of moving heavy loads. The BT Pro Lifter features powered drive which reduces the force required to get a heavy load moving by up to 67%. The range is versatile and user-friendly, with the BT High Lifter providing easy horizontal transport, moving loads quickly and easily. They can also elevate loads to an ergonomic working height for easy transfer, or use as a work table, reducing operator strain.

Suitable solutions are available for a wide range of applications including environments with high hygiene standards or corrosive environments with choices of wet spec, galvanised or stainless-steel trucks. And if you are required to keep noise to a minimum, there is no need to worry when operating a BT Lifter as these trucks are silent. 

Well maintained kit 

If it wasn’t enough that Toyota hand pallet trucks come with a lifetime guarantee, Toyota are unique in not only supplying the product but to also have a dedicated national team of hand pallet truck specialists supporting any maintenance and servicing requirements to keep your truck in top working order.

They are fully equipped with a range of parts to ensure your trucks continue to work safely, reduce the risk of breakdown and extend its’ operating life. Some people view hand pallet trucks as disposable items, however, if they are correctly maintained they will last for many years proving a worthwhile investment.

Reliable and quality service to keep your trucks safe and operational is a no brainer.

The team are well equipped to provide advice on the best trucks and service plans for any operation, ensuring that you are complying with health and safety regulations (PUWER and LOLER).
