Toyota Material Handling has
developed a new twist on a wellknown
product and designed it to be
as quiet as possible. The new BT
Lifter Silent hand pallet truck has high
quality rubber steering, Powerthane
bogie wheels, frames fitted with
shock absorbing material to reduce
vibration noise and adjustable rubber
studs. It operates at no more than
60dBA and is said to be 20% quieter
than a standard hand pallet truck.

Mark Peters, hand pallet truck
product manager, says: “Working
closely with the Freight Transport
Association, Noise Abatement
Society and Transport for London we
have been able to demonstrate the
BT Lifter Silent and its capabilities
for silent deliveries.”
