Decrease delivery noise disruption

In an aim to decrease disruption from delivery noise, Toyota Material Handling has designed its new BT Lifter Silent hand pallet truck to be as quiet as possible.

With high quality rubber steering, Powerthane bogie wheels, frames fitted with shock absorbing material to reduce vibration noise and adjustable rubber studs, the unit operates at no more than 60dBA - the volume of a conversation and 20% quieter than a standard hand pallet truck.

In the lead up to and during the Olympics, Transport for London will be encouraging out of hour deliveries to decrease congestion. Transport for London and the Noise Abatement Society have come up with a Code of Practice, which details considerations companies will need to take into account when applying for and arranging out of hour deliveries. One of the main considerations is noise disruption, making the BT Lifter Silent a crucial piece of equipment to facilitate such deliveries.
