Since developing the first lightweight hand pallet truck in 1947, BT has built over two and a half million of them. The BT Lifter has been proven worldwide as the universal hand pallet truck, suitable for moving loads in all types of application. A highly automated production system maintains consistently high quality levels, and a powder paint finishing process ensures a superb, durable finish. A long life is assured through built-in serviceability. At least ten grease nipples are fitted to every truck to allow easy lubrication of moving parts.

The innovative Pro Lifter models offer the most significant technical innovations in hand truck design. Ease-of-use reaches new levels with up to 67% less effort required to move the load in the manual version, which features BT Pro Start Technology; or totally effort-free travel with the electric Pro Lifter M model.

Pallet Trucks

Fast and powerful, but safe and easy-to-use. BT's family of electric pallet trucks caters for all needs – compact lightweight units, walk-with or ride-on trucks. All with the optimum drive system and design strength to ensure trouble-free movement of goods.

The ability to pick individual items at height opens up the whole of a warehouse to more than just full pallet storage. But working at height demands high safety standards.

BT's Optipace system is at the heart of the medium and high level order picking range – ensuring safety without compromising speed of operation. BT provides solutions for higher-level order picking applications with its Opal and OP truck series.

All BT medium and high-level order picking trucks feature the BT Optipace system, which electronically optimises speed, acceleration, and braking according to the height of the truck. This means that acceleration rates and travel speeds are as maximised when working at height.

BT's Reflex family is designed to deliver the lowest possible handling cost, through the combination of high productivity, low maintenance requirements and an unrivalled reputation for reliability – with measured availability levels exceeding 99%. Reflex offers the highest acceleration, braking, and lifting performance, which is easy to program and control thanks to its intuitive man-machine interface.

AC power brings low operating costs and long work cycles. A full range of truck chassis and mast configurations is available, with capacities up to 2500 kg.

For high-lift applications, BT offers the unique Reflex E-series, with tilting cab. This reduces neck and shoulder strain, and allows faster and more accurate fork positioning. For intensive work, ACi models are fitted with electronic support arm brakes, which allow a higher top speed. Designed for lower-intensity applications, the M-series has the benefit of a narrow chassis and an economical price.

Support arm stackers offer an effective and economical solution for all types of store – big or small. BT offers the most complete range for all types of application, with exceptional lift heights - up to 6.3m.

All BT stackers have safety, performance and easy servicing as key characteristics. For the majority of stacking applications, BT provides its Stacker range – for both standard and high intensity operations.

Standard Stacker models have capacities of 1000 to 1250kg, whilst the high intensity models offer capacities up to 1600 kilograms and lift heights to 5.4 metres.

Tow Trucks

Ergomover AC tow truck is a towing concept consisting of a highly manoeuvrable truck and a wide range of trolleys. It offers a flexible, efficient and ergonomic handling in factories and production facilities when the space is limited and the frequency of re-filling is high.  

It is a perfect concept for just-in-time supply for trains with loads up to 500 kg, or 1.000 kg if trolleys with brakes are used. 

The range of trolleys consists of more than 100 standard models, all designed in a modular system that can be adapted according to the application in a cost efficient way.      

Very Narrow Aisle Trucks

Companies that opt for very narrow aisle operation are committed to maximising the use of storage space. BT's range of VNA trucks has been developed with a series of unique features that are designed to minimise the space occupied by the truck, and to vastly improve speed and efficiency in operation.    

Semi Automatic Trucks

BT offers a radical solution for high-density bulk storage of goods. It is particularly suited to applications in which relatively few order lines are carried, and allows extremely cost-effective use of expensive warehouse space - ideal for temperature-controlled stores. 

The system is based upon the BT Radioshuttle - an electrically powered load carrier that transports goods in and out of storage tunnels within specially designed racking.
