Handling safely

Toyota Material Handling UK will be exhibiting its award-winning BT Pro Lifter hand pallet truck at Health & Safety - North, (Reebok Bolton, 5th to 6th October). The truck is said to require up to 67% less start-up effort than a conventional hand pallet truck.

Also on show will be a range of manual and powered pallet trucks designed to help with manual handling. These include a BT High Lifter hand pallet truck which features an ergonomic work station and the BT Levio powered pallet truck, all designed to move loads safely and efficiently.

Tony Wallis, operations director, said: "Promoting health and safety in the workplace is important to Toyota and the Health and Safety exhibition provides the ideal platform to demonstrate how our products can help to reduce the risk of manual handling and improve safety at work".

Visitors to the stand will be able to claim a free manual handling guide and enter a prize draw to win a free one day 'Safety in the Workplace' course for their company from the Toyota Training Academy. Stand 78
