Toyota Material Handling believes
its BT Optio H-series is designed to
set new standards in high-level order
picking. The trucks offer picking
heights to 12m, allowing a high
degree of operational flexibility and
helping companies drive down costs
and improve use of warehouse space.

Features include high travel speed
(to 12 km/h), quick acceleration and
fast lifting / lowering. An optional
height pre-selection function
automatically moves the cab to the
next required level.When the cab is
lowered or the truck decelerates,
energy is regenerated back to the
battery. In many applications the BT
Optio H-series can work for two full
shifts on one battery charge.

Designed for both free-ranging
and narrow aisle operation, with
either rail or wire guidance, the truck
is said to excel at ‘diagonal’ driving,
where it is driving and lifting/
lowering at the same time. The BT
Optipace system monitors the truck’s
load as well as the lift height and
automatically optimises travel speed.

The new BT Optio L series is for
low-level order picking; models have
load capacities from 1000 to 2500kg.
