Toyota has optimised its BT Levio & BT Staxio W-series (LWE140-250 & SWE080L-200D) pedestrian powered pallet trucks and stackers for (un)loading, stacking and horizontal transport in confined areas.
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 support arms and one on the forks – and the BT Staxio SWE200D is designed specifically for double stacking. The ability to transport two loads at the same time contributes to higher productivity.
The battery lid cover and motor cover of all BT Levio and Staxio W-models have been updated for improved robustness, aligning the design with the rest of the product family.
Both W-series can be equipped with speed reduction when cornering, making them suitable for handling tall and unstable loads.
The stackers can be equipped with low-noise hydraulics as option, for a lower noise level in noise-sensitive and quiet environments such as supermarkets, shops and on-board lorries during night-time deliveries.
As standard, every truck is available with lithium-ion battery technology, assembled in-house by Toyota Material Handling Europe. Lithium-ion-powered trucks don’t require any battery change, spare battery, or charging area. Instead, the truck can be charged when convenient, for example during breaks, with opportunity charging. All warehouse trucks produced by Toyota Material Handling Europe are also equipped with telematics as standard.
