In today’s 24/7 supply chain, after-hours deliveries help keep shops stocked and customers satisfied. Delivering the goods outside of normal business hours means fewer disruptions for customers and less time spent sitting in traffic – saving time and reducing fuel consumption.
After-hours deliveries also require quiet pallet-handling solutions to avoid waking the neighbours or violating nocturnal noise regulations. That’s why Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) has developed “silent” versions of its popular BT Lifter hand pallet truck and BT Staxio powered pallet truck models.
Designed to meet growing demand from industry and government for quieter materials handling, the BT Lifter Silent (LHM230SI) and BT Levio Silent (LWE200) models help companies meet noise standards that are often imposed for night-time deliveries in residential areas. With noise levels that do not exceed 60 decibels (dBA), the BT Lifter Silent and BT Levio Silent generate no more noise than two people having a conversation in a normal tone of voice.
“The BT Lifter Silent and BT Levio Silent are especially useful for night-time delivery and restocking operations, particularly those involving shops located in residential areas,” explains Andrea Stach, Manager of the Product Marketing Group at TMHE. “In today’s round-the-clock business environment, more companies are relying on after-hours deliveries to ensure a continuous supply of goods while minimising the disruption to customers’ shopping activities. Studies have also shown that evening and night-time deliveries mean delivery vehicles spend less time stuck in traffic, resulting in lower emissions and fuel consumption.”

While being 25 per cent quieter than standard pallet trucks, the BT Lifter Silent delivers the same toughness and reliability that have made BT Lifters the industry standard for pallet trucks for more than six decades, with nearly 3 million units sold worldwide.  

The BT Levio Silent delivers the same reliability and ease-of-use as the standard BT Levio, with special design enhancements to reduce noise levels.
