Improved Pedestrian Pallet Trucks and Stackers from Toyota

Improved Pedestrian Pallet Trucks and Stackers from Toyota

Handling, Manufacturer, New Trucks
Toyota has added features to its BT Levio & BT Staxio pedestrian W-models, which it says offer even more fit for (un)loading, stacking and horizontal transport in confined areas. The stackers can be equipped with low-noise hydraulics as option, for a lower noise level. This makes these trucks ideal for working in noise-sensitive and quiet environments such as supermarkets, shops and on-board lorries during night-time deliveries. The BT Staxio W-series is now also available with a weight indicator that displays an estimation of the load weight on the forks. This prevents the lifting of too heavy loads, as well as overloading lorries, elevators and loading docks. The BT Staxio SWE080L-140L stackers with initial lift can transport two pallet loads at the same time (one on the su...
