BT manual stacker

In the 1950s the standard pallet was introduced

to a wider audience, and demand for BT products

grew steadily. To meet customer demand for

efficient materials handling, BT continued to develop

and broaden its range of fork lift trucks.

BT quickly realized the need for efficient

service. In 1954 it began to open service centers

around Sweden. This focus on service and quality

would later become closely associated with the BT

brand.

 

Technological leadership has been BT’s motto

from the very beginning and still distinguishes

the brand. Back in the mid-fifties, for example, a

research project was funded to identify when it is

most advantageous to use gas, diesel or battery

power.

 

Before the decade drew to a close, BT began

producing manual stackers and exporting its

products on a small scale.
