The 50,000ft2 ASDA retail site
at Romford, which is in a
residential area, has been
equipped with a BT Lifter
Silent following complaints
from local residents about the
noise levels of out of hours
deliveries.

The BT Lifter Silent from
Toyota Material Handling is
designed for applications
requiring quiet handling of
goods as noise levels from the
truck do not exceed 60dBA.
Varn Ullyart, head of
assets ASDA, said: “Toyota
had the ideal product to
enable deliveries to take place
during unsocial hours
without compromising the
wellbeing of local residents.”
The BT Lifter Silent is
equipped with high-quality
rubber steering wheels and
powerthane bogie wheels for
whisper-quiet operation. As
with other trucks in the BT
Lifter range, the BT Lifter
Silent comes with a lifetime
(99-year) guarantee on forks
and frame.
