Presentation of the truck

The truck is a battery driven support arm truck. The truck is
equipped with a tiller arm for optional control: standing on the
ride-on platform or walking. Best advantage can be taken of the
truck’s properties by the operator standing on the ergonomically
designed platform as this provides the operator with a clear view
over the truck and load, allowing work to be carried out with
ease and safety. The truck is also equipped with protective
gates to protect the operator when driving standing on the plat-
form. When the gates are retracted the truck’s maximum speed
is always 6 km/h. When the gates are raised and the operator is
standing on the platform the truck’s maximum speed is 12 km/h.
The tiller arm is specially designed to provide the best possible
operator ergonomy, having all the controls and buttons within
easy reach without the operator needing to release the handle.
The tiller arm is also equipped with a display showing running
time and battery status among other things. The display is also
used when the operator wishes to change any of the operator
parameters with which the truck can be programmed.
The truck is equipped with BT’s patented PowerTrak system,
which means that the drive wheel pressure is adjusted according
to the weight of the load. This reduces the wear and tear on the
drive wheel and ensures safer load handling.
The truck has a maximum lifting capacity of 2400 kg.
The forks are lifted by using a powerful and compact hydraulic
unit that is automatically shut-off when the forks reach their high-
est lifting position. The automatic shut-off is used to increase the
service life of the hydraulic components and reduce the power
consumption from the battery.
The battery compartment is designed to allow the battery to be
changed from either side as well as from above, which means
the truck is well suited to most types of battery changing situa-
tions.
14
Intended application of the truck

The truck is solely designed and manufactured for indoor trans-
portation, collecting and leaving of loads. The truck should be fit-
ted with the appropriate accessories relevant to the application.
Forbidden application of the

truck
The truck is designed for handling goods indoors. It is not per-
mitted to use the truck for other purposes including the following:
- In areas that contain dust or gases which can cause fires

or explosions
- As a tow-truck for trailers

when the operator stands on the ride-on platform and the protec-
tive gates are extended. Otherwise the speed is limited to
6 km/h.
In order to be able to drive the truck with the ride-on platform col-
lapsed, the protective gates must also be retracted.
• Always drive with great care when cornering. Always reduce
speed when approaching a corner.
WARNING!
Loss of function.
Safety risk.
Always check the safety functions listed below before begin-
ning the day’s work.
- That the hydraulic controls function in both directions.
- That the horn functions correctly.
- That the steering functions correctly.

Battery
Battery
The truck is designed so that it receives its energy supply from a
so-called lead traction battery. If any other type of battery or
energy source is used, measures shall be taken to ensure that
the battery voltage during operation always exceeds 70% of
nominal voltage: 17 volts for a 24 volt system and 34 volts for a
48 volt system. This is necessary in order for the truck to func-
tion as intended.
• Check that the battery in the truck is a 24 V traction battery
having a weight within the minimum/maximum values stated
on the identification plate.
The truck is available with two different battery spaces which
can contain battery sizes from 300 Ah to 600 Ah if the battery is
manufactured according to BT’s original drawing.
Small battery space: 300 - 450 Ah
Medium-sized battery space: 300 - 600 Ah
