Advertisement - 14 Apr 2005

BT Lifters have a reputation for durability and reliability. This is no accident, as they are designed-quite literally-to last a lifetime. Properly serviced and maintained, a BT Lifter will perform for decades. Many businesses seem to think of a hand pallet truck as a disposable item-something that will quickly be worn out, and then replaced. BT has a different view.
