BT at a glance
BT originally stood for the Swedish company BT Industries, which specialised in warehouse equipment and acquired the US manufacturer Raymond in 1997. In 2000, Toyota Industries acquired BT Industries; since then, BT has been part of the Toyota Material Handling Group, which has been the world’s largest manufacturer of industrial trucks since 2001. In Europe, counterbalanced forklifts are marketed under the Toyota brand, whilst warehouse equipment is marketed under BT – with a shared service and spare parts network. BT warehouse equipment is manufactured in Mjölby, Sweden, where, according to Toyota, around 90,000 hand pallet trucks and 60,000 electric warehouse handling trucks are produced annually; over 95 per cent of Toyota and BT equipment sold in Europe comes from European factories.
Important when searching for used equipment: on many portals, BT equipment is also listed as ‘Toyota’ or ‘Toyota BT’. A ‘Toyota SWE’ or ‘Toyota RRE160’ is, technically speaking, a BT machine.

What the BT model designation reveals
BT model designations consist of three letters and a number. The first letter indicates the type of machine: L = low-lift pallet truck (Levio series), S = high-lift pallet truck (Staxio), R = reach truck (Reflex), O = order picker (Optio), V = narrow-aisle forklift (Vector). The number following this indicates the load capacity in 100 kg: an LWE200 lifts 2,000 kg, an RRE160 1,600 kg, and an SWE120 1,200 kg. The middle letters describe the operating mode – for example, W for pedestrian-operated trucks and P for trucks with a driver’s platform (LPE, SPE).
| Type | Load capacity | Typical application |
|---|---|---|
| LWE140 / LWE160 | 1.4–1.6 t | Unloading lorries, short distances within the warehouse |
| LWE200 / LPE200 | 2.0 t | Pallet transport; LPE with standing platform for longer distances |
| SWE120 / SWE160 | 1.2–1.6 t | Medium-height racking, small warehouses |
| SPE160 / SPE200 | 1.6–2.0 t | High-lift trucks with platform, multi-shift |
| RRE140 / RRE160 | 1.4–1.6 t | BT’s best-selling reach trucks: high-bay |
| RRE200 / RRE250 | 2.0–2.5 t | Heavy pallets, high lift heights |
What we look for in second-hand BT warehouse equipment
Battery: For lead-acid batteries, check the age, charge cycles and capacity; a suitable charger should be included. For high-lift trucks and reach trucks, the battery is the biggest cost factor.
Mast and lift chains: Check for play in the mast profiles, chain elongation and the tightness of the lift cylinders; for reach trucks, check the reach frame and residual load capacity at great heights.
Wheels and drive system: Load and drive wheels wear out quickly in warehouse operations; check their condition and operating noise, and test the drawbar and emergency stop.
Electronics and documentation: Check the operating hours and error codes on the display; ensure you are provided with the maintenance log and the annual inspection report in accordance with DGUV Regulation 68.
