BT 1960 Stacker

Product development intensified. During the 1960s

BT began series production of walkie trucks and

stackers. The expanding product offering was

reflected in sales figures, with exports of BT’s own

products rising to 50 percent. During the decade

the first BT reach trucks were manufactured.

To further strengthen customer service, BT

created its own leasing and rental operations.

Within a short time BT signed several contracts that

established vital, long-term relationships. BT was

a forerunner in this respect and has continued to

develop this successful concept ever since.

During the 1960s BT collaborated with Saab

to produce aircraft hydraulics. The aircraft manufacturer’s

stringent requirements were proof

of the high quality level BT was able to deliver.

The cooperation had a major impact on the

development

of production technology and quality

awareness at BT.

Global expansion continued. BT began building

an international sales and service organization in

several European countries, including Benelux,

Denmark, United Kingdom and Germany.
