We set the standard for Hand Trucks

as early as 1948…

BT has manufactured Hand Trucks for more than 50 years. Throughout this time, the goal has always been the same – offering customers the most competitive and economical product on the market. The starting point for our work has been “Both people and company”. This means meeting people’s demands for tools to simplify their work and minimize the risk of strains and injuries, while providing the company with effective, reliable products for efficient, trouble-free production and material handling.

  • Long-term economy and reliability
  • High precision and efficiency
  • High user-friendliness
  • Documented, unique environmental responsibility

…and our concept is still leading the way!

Developed for people…
Although the general working environment and its safety are governed by laws and regulations, these cover only a small part of the overall work situation. Equally important aspects include the employee’s personal experience of the interaction between man and machine.

Our Hand Trucks have been developed for maximum efficiency with minimum load on the user. This includes minimizing the causes of stress, such as malfunctions and breakdowns. It is these conditions that have been used as the platform in designing our Hand Trucks – in short, what is best for the user is also best for the company.

  • Excellent ergonomics
  • High safety
  • High user-friendliness
  • Environmentally assured manufacturing

…with superior technology

The standard has been set. We aim to offer customers the market’s most efficient and reliable Hand Truck backed by superior long-term economy. This demands smart technical solutions, advanced material optimization, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes with comprehensive automation and, not least, responsible and competent personnel who has the knowledge of producing the Hand Truck in the best way. In our manufacturing environment, every process is monitored by a meticulous inspection system, ensuring that all the Hand Trucks leaving our factory meet our stringent quality standards in every respect. We make sure that you will always recognize a BT Hand Truck and always find the same high quality and performance.

  • World Class technology
  • Optimum materials chosen
  • Meticulous inspection
  • Quality assured manufacturing
  • Extremely low Life Cycle Cost

Economical, trouble-free operation...
Having a Hand Truck of high quality and excellent reliability brings the immediate advantage of reduced downtime and in the longer term, lower life cycle cost. Essential to achieving this is a Hand Truck must offer total performance and reliability over its working life. Our Hand Trucks have been developed to meet exactly these criteria, a long working life with intensive use, even with heavy loads. This is why it is both profitable and wise to buy and maintain a Hand Truck from BT. We are one of the few manufacturers in the world to offer complete spare parts backup for our products.

With a world-wide service and support organization, spares are always close at hand – just like our service engineers. At the same time, we offer what are perhaps the market’s best warranties both in scope and content.

  • World Wide service and support
  • Unique spare parts backup
  • Superior warranties

…for every application
Material handling is not a standard discipline. Different industries and applications set different demands. We have built our programme around a common multifunction design satisfying every basic requirement on ergonomics, performance and safety. From this platform, we have developed models in three areas: Hand Trucks, High Lifters and Ministackers.

For extremely humid environments or applications with special demands on hygiene, the Hand Truck and High Lifter are available in stainless steel. Further specialized needs are met by a broad programme including different wheel types and hydraulic systems. In addition, there is a large range of forks of different width, length and height, making a total of 1.4 million* combinations available as standard. To cater for the broadest possible range of needs, we offer specially designed Hand Trucks – including one-off units built to your specification.

*Including all our fork lengths with a 50mm interval from 600mm to 3500mm, the total is 4 million variants available as standard.
