New BT Movit range of tailored load carriers and towing tractors – designed for every application

Toyota Material Handling Europe (TMHE) has packaged a complete range of tailored load carriers and towing tractors with towing capacities up to 3000 kg.
  
The quest for maximum efficiency in order picking, or any other operation that involves handling individual items, leads many companies to employ special load carriers pulled by towing tractors. The new BT Movit towing tractor range has been developed to provide new options in this important area. TMHE demonstrated the new range’s wide truck selection, strength and durability at inter airport Europe, in Germany last October.

TMHE has first-hand experience of the need to develop bespoke load carriers within material handling operations. Its production facilities use many varieties of load carrier in order to deliver components to production efficiently. TMHE has learnt from this experience in order to develop a complete range of forklift solutions for both production and order picking applications. BT Movit includes a full range of load carriers designed to aid efficiency when handling specific items.

A complete range of load carriers

The load carriers include versions with shelving to allow sorting during the assembly run, and load carriers with built-in steps to allow access to higher level storage. A key area in bespoke load carrier systems is the use of towing trains into which several loads can be integrated. This often involves the use of ‘host carriers’ into which standard load carriers can be integrated for transport. The result is a single towing tractor unit conveying multiple loads, increasing efficiency and driving down costs.

Due to the variety of loads handled this way and the potential diversity of applications, the new BT Movit range offers a choice of towing tractors.
Advanced towing tractor design

The BT Movit S-series towing tractor is derived from the latest BT Optio low-level order picking truck family. Powerful AC motors ensure maximum performance, and this combines with the advanced driving characteristics that have been developed to maximise efficiency in conventional order picking applications. With a towing capacity of 3000 kg, this truck is ready for heavy duty use in warehouse towing applications.
