BT Lifter Silent launches
BRUSSELS, Belgium
Toyota Material Handling Europe has launched a quieter version of its popular BT Lifter hand pallet truck.
Noise levels for the LHM230SI, made in Mjölby, Sweden, do not exceed 60 decibels. Noise levels for standard trucks can be twice as high. However, the truck is 20% to 30% more expensive than a regular hand pallet truck.
When developing the truck, TMHE followed guidelines by and received certification from the Netherlands’ PEAK programme. The PEAK organisation has established standards for measuring noise levels and set 60 decibels as a target noise level.
A certified silent model of the BT Orion LWE200 powered pallet truck is also available.

NEW HOLLAND, PA, United States
Merlo SpA has introduced the compact Multifarmer telehandler in some of its export markets.
The 27.9 and 29.6 models add to the existing Multifarmer 30.6 and 30.9 models. The new models have a different chassis arrangement to the existing models and are 2 metres wide and 2.2 metres high.
On the compact machines, only the rear axle oscillates compared to existing models that have independently oscillating front and rear axles. The compact models are a "simpler" machine and have analogue control systems only.
A "multifarmer" is a Merlo machine that combines a telehandler and a tractor’s rear end. It is suitable for the poultry industry but is not restricted to farming applications.
