POWERED PALLET TRUCK

BT Levio 2t Powered Pallet Truck: Smart, Stable & Productive Material Flow

The BT Levio 2t Powered Pallet Truck represents Toyota Material Handling's commitment to delivering reliable, ergonomic, and highly productive solutions for horizontal material transport. With its 2-tonne lifting capacity, advanced features, and a focus on operator safety and comfort, the BT Levio 2t series ensures smooth, efficient, and cost-effective pallet movement in diverse operational settings.

Features

• 2000 kg (2.0 Tonne) Lifting Capacity: Designed to effortlessly handle standard palletized loads up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lbs), making it suitable for a vast array of goods in demanding environments.
• Efficient AC Drive Motor: Equipped with a powerful and energy-efficient 24V AC motor, providing excellent acceleration, smooth control, and reduced maintenance requirements due to fewer wearing parts compared to DC motors.
• BT Powerdrive System: A unique combination of contactless controls and CAN-bus communication ensures excellent driving characteristics, precise control, and reduced downtime. This system also allows for programmability, enabling the truck's performance to be adapted to specific applications or operator skill levels.
• Ergonomic & Intuitive Tiller Arm: The ergonomically designed tiller arm provides comfortable operation with intuitive fingertip controls for drive, lift, and lower functions. Its design allows for use with either hand and often includes an adjustable height for optimal operator comfort.
• Click-2-Creep Function: A highly practical feature for navigating confined spaces. By simply double-clicking the control lever, the truck enters a very slow "creep" speed, allowing safe and precise manoeuvring even with the tiller arm in an upright position.
• Unique Castorlink System (for pedestrian models like LWE200): Features a five-wheel chassis design with linked side castors. This system ensures optimum stability, protects the wheels and load, and provides excellent stability even on uneven surfaces.
• Enhanced Safety Features:
  • Tiller Arm Safety Button (Belly Button): A prominent emergency button on the tiller head instantly reverses the truck's direction if pressed, preventing the operator from being trapped against an obstacle.
  • Automatic Speed Reduction: Models with platforms (LPE200) often feature automatic speed reduction when cornering (e.g., Curve Control) for enhanced stability and safety.
  • Operator Presence Sensing: Ensures the truck operates only when the operator is correctly positioned.
  • Automatic Shut-off: If the truck is left unattended, it will automatically shut off after a programmable period (e.g., 1-20 minutes or 4 hours), saving energy and enhancing safety.
  • PIN Code Access Control: Restricts operation to authorized personnel, allowing for up to 100 individual PIN codes.
  • Optional Blue LED Warning Light: Projects a blue spot on the ground, providing a visual warning to pedestrians in busy areas
• Battery Options & Smart Truck Connectivity:
  • Typically uses 24V lead-acid batteries with various capacities (e.g., 225 Ah, 300 Ah).
  • Lithium-Ion (Li-ION) battery options are increasingly available (e.g., in the AL20W or LSI200 series) offering benefits like opportunity charging, longer lifespan, and maintenance-free operation.
  • Smart Truck functionality (standard on many models) means the truck comes with telematics hardware, allowing connection to Toyota's I_Site fleet management system. This provides insights into battery management, geolocation, impacts, utilization, and more, enabling improved productivity, safety, and cost management.
• Versatile Operator Positions:
  • Pedestrian (Walkie) Models (e.g., LWE200): Designed for operators to walk alongside, ideal for short-to-medium distance transport and highly confined spaces.
  • Platform Models (e.g., LPE200): Feature a foldable operator platform with foldable side gates. This allows operators to stand on the truck for longer travel distances, reducing fatigue, while still offering the flexibility to fold the platform for pedestrian operation in tight corners.
• Low Maintenance Design: Built according to the Toyota Production System, ensuring high quality, durability, and reliability. Features like the maintenance-free AC motor and accessible components contribute to low service costs and maximum uptime. Cold store options are also available for temperatures down to -30°C.

Applications

The BT Levio 2t Powered Pallet Truck is a versatile and essential tool for:

• Warehouses & Distribution Centers: High-intensity horizontal transport over short to long distances, depending on the model (pedestrian for short, platform/stand-in for longer).
• Loading & Unloading Vehicles: Especially effective for efficiently loading and unloading lorries and trailers, including within tight trailer spaces.
• Retail & Supermarkets: Stocking shelves, moving goods from storage to sales areas, and handling deliveries in confined retail aisles.
• Manufacturing Facilities: Transporting components, work-in-progress, and finished goods between production lines, storage, and dispatch areas.
• Cold Storage: Specific cold store versions are available, designed to operate reliably in low temperatures (down to -30°C).
• Order Picking Support: Moving picked orders to staging areas for dispatch.
• General Material Handling: Any application requiring robust, safe, and efficient movement of palletized loads within its capacity.
