BT Levio – the complete range of

powered pallet trucks

Fast and powerful, but safe and easy-to-use, BT Levio powered pallet trucks cater for all your horizontal pallet transport needs.
Compact and lightweight units, walk-with and ride-on trucks, all with the optimum drive system and design strength to ensure
trouble-free operation. All standard models are also designed to work effectively within chilled operations.

W-series models are pedestrian trucks with load capacities from 1300 up to 2500 kilograms. The smallest model — the
LWE130 — is ideal for carrying on-board a vehicle as an alternative to a hand pallet truck, whilst the largest — the LWE250 —
makes safe handling of the heaviest palletised loads easy. The BT Levio W-series models are built for durability, and are simple
to use, with safety a key factor.

For more intensive applications, BT Levio P-series models come equipped with a flip-down operator platform, making them
suitable for longer-distances and more demanding operations.

For the most intensive applications the BT Levio S-series ‘stand-in’ and R-series seated cab models deliver maximum
productivity while maintaining the highest safety standards.

By offering a complete range of powered pallet trucks, Toyota Material Handling Europe enables you to select the optimum
machines to help drive down costs in your operations.

 BT Levio – W-series

BT Levio W-series 1300 kg load capacity

BT Levio’s W-series starts with the LWE130 – a compact truck that provides safe, easy horizontal pallet movement
in low-intensity applications. Whether transporting goods in an office, retail store, print shop or similar operation,
the BT Levio LWE130’s low 250 kg weight, compact size and 1300 kg load capacity make it ideally suited for a wide
range of uses.

The easy-to-use controls, ergonomic steering and maintenance-

free batteries with built-in charger are designed for operators
with all levels of experience. Optional in-vehicle charging also
makes this electric pallet truck perfect for use on lorries.

The LWE130 features castor wheels that rotate within the truck’s
body profile. They provide smooth and easy operation on ramps
with reduced the risk of wheel damage.

The 208° steering makes the BT Levio LWE130 an exceptionally manoeuvrable The LWE130 is well suited for use on a lorry and for handling loads on a rear
truck, perfect for use in confined areas mounted lorry platform

The emergency stop button and the lead for the built-in charger are easily The LWE130 has a five-point chassis for optimum stability and control, with
accessible to the operator castors that rotate within the profile of the truck

simplicity leads to productivity

Powered pallet trucks are versatile machines put to a wide range of uses: vehicle loading and unloading, order
picking and general pallet transport. They are relied on, not just in warehouses, but also in retail premises where
safety and manoeuvrability are particularly important. The BT Levio W-series is designed to let its operator get on
with the job – simply and safely.

a clear view of the fork tips or the load, allowing accurate and
fast placement. We call it ‘total view’.

A truck that’s easy to use is much less likely to be involved in accidents. The safety of BT Levio W-series is also
enhanced by a host of design features to protect the operator and other workers.

… and durability
An easy-to-use truck means less risk of mistakes and less risk of damage or breakdown. Combine this with Toyota’s
built-in quality and the BT Levio’s advanced design and the result is more uptime, which means more work done
for less cost.

Designed to simply keep going

The BT Levio W-series has been developed and is manufactured
using the highly regarded Toyota Production System (TPS).
To ensure high levels of quality and reliability, TPS applies
continuous improvement (kaizen) throughout the entire
production process, from product development through to
production, delivery and after-sales service.

In line with this philosophy, the W-series’ AC drive motors have

fewer wearing parts than DC equivalents and many of the truck’s
bushings are made of a Teflon-coated composite material that
improves their working life and eliminates the need for greasing.
Sealed connectors, non-contact switches, leak-free hydraulic
connectors and CAN-Bus wiring all add up to maximum
reliability. BT Levio W-series is designed to be serviced only once
a year in typical single-shift operations.

… over the long term

BT Levio P-series is manufactured using the highly regarded Toyota Production System (TPS). To ensure high levels
of quality and reliability, TPS applies continuous improvement (kaizen) throughout the entire production process,
from product development through to production, delivery and after-sales service.

Fewer parts
The total number of components in the BT Powerdrive system
has been significantly reduced in relation to conventional
electric trucks, leading to greater reliability and efficiency. On-
board fault diagnosis and easy access to internal parts maximise
uptime.

High-quality construction
All BT Levio trucks are built with the highest quality components.
For example, all bushings on the LPE240 are constructed from
bronze, with lubrication points, for a long and reliable life.
BT Powerdrive reduces components to a minimum

Inox version
For applications requiring the highest standards of hygiene, or
exceptionally corrosive environments, the BT Levio LPE200 is
available in a stainless steel INOX version (LPE200I).

The LPE200I uses stainless steel for long-lasting performance in corrosive

environments

For more intensive applications BT Levio S-series LSE200 offers the highest levels of comfort and safety thanks to
its ‘stand-in’ design, which offers full protection for the operator.

The truck retains compact dimensions, however, and thereby

excellent manoeuvrability. It is ideal for loading/unloading
applications and those demanding long travel distances, such as
cross-docking. Its load capacity is 2000 kg.

Narrow chassis
Its overall width of just 770 mm ensures manouevrability and
makes it more than suitable for use on-board vehicles and
containers. The driver stands transversely, meaning that he or
she can comfortably drive in both fork and cab directions without
changing position. As an option, the control console can be
placed at 45° to the operator (away from the forks), favouring
applications demanding long travel distances. The backrest is
fully adjustable, to accommodate all sizes of operator.

Electronic steering
The S-series is easy to control – whatever the load – thanks
to its ‘spinner wheel’ 180° electronic steering. Braking is also
electronically controlled and is regenerative. The parking brake is
activated automatically when the truck is stationary.

The forks on the LSE200 have bogie wheels and can be elevated
to 235 mm. This makes it ideal for handling roll cages and work
on gradients and uneven surfaces.
