Noble Foods gets on board with the BT Levio powered pallet truck

The BT Levio LWE130 powered pallet truck with onboard charging from Toyota was the ideal choice for Noble’s fleet of lorries.

Noble Foods and Toyota Material Handling UK have a long-standing relationship, developed over the past 10 years. A leading supplier of fresh eggs to major retailers, the 85-year-old company based in Hertfordshire recently moved into the desserts sector with a product portfolio that includes Happy Eggs, Golden Lay and GÜ Chocolate Puddings. In order to collect from and deliver to farms across the UK, Noble Foods lorries travel large distances and team members will both drive and handle the goods.

Mick Tucker from Noble Foods commented: “When looking for a solution to our manual handling needs we trialled a number of products. We decided on the BT Levio LWE130 due to its proven record in this type of application. We are confident that the product we have chosen will decrease the risks involved in manual handling for our drivers, increase their productivity and decrease costs occurred from damaged goods.”

A fleet of 21 BT Levio LWE130 powered pallet trucks are now in place at Noble Foods. The LWE130 is an entry-level powered pallet truck ideal for use on the back of lorries. Its compact size and low weight allows it to be easily transported and stored. With ergonomic steering and a BT Castorlink system for optimum stability, the BT Levio provides easy horizontal movement in low intensity operations, decreasing manual handling and increasing safety for the driver and load.
