Powerful pallet trucks for tough tasks

16 July 2014

Compact yet powerful, the new BT Levio P-series powered pallet truck range from Toyota Material Handling is designed to boost efficiency in demanding applications.

 

With load capacities of 2.0, 2.2 and 2.5t, the trucks are typically used for the loading/unloading of lorries. Productivity is said to be enhanced due to the trucks’ small size and high speed potential: the BT Levio LPE250 can reach 12.5km/h.

The trucks are designed to be easy to drive. They are easy to manoeuvre due to foldable side guards, a small turning radius in confined areas and flip up platform. 

Safety is enhanced by the trucks’ small frame which allows good all-round visibility. The series comes with a range of driver protection solutions among which are guards, fixed side protection, and foot sensor at the back to reduce the risk of foot injuries. The platform and tiller arm design ensure the operator stays within the truck profile.

Additionally, Toyota says the advanced electronic concept Optimised Truck Performance (OTP) gives driver and load optimum stability by controlling the speed and angle when cornering. The new BT Levio P-series has low energy consumption and regenerative braking.

Tony Wallis sales & marketing director, comments: "Our new BT Levio P-series 2.0-2.5t are designed for medium to intense applications and can efficiently and safely handle heavy loads. Our fleet customers will be happy to learn that the new LPE is available with the Toyota I_Site fleet management system. Our trucks also exist in Lithium-Ion version, helping to optimise energy and cost efficiency even further."
