About this machine
This BT FRE270 is a sideloader — a type of forklift designed specifically to handle long, bulky loads such as timber, steel sections, pipes, and sheet materials, carrying them safely alongside the machine rather than in front. BT, now part of the Toyota Industries group, is a well-established manufacturer of forklifts and warehouse equipment with a long history of supplying logistics, manufacturing, and distribution operations worldwide.
The machine is powered by a 48-volt lead-acid battery rated at 775 Ah, giving it substantial capacity for extended shift work. The seller notes that battery efficiency is currently around 80%, which is a useful reference point for buyers planning their energy and charging requirements. The load centre is specified at 500 mm, a standard reference distance used when calculating safe rated capacity relative to the load's centre of gravity.
Both front and rear tyres are polyurethane, a common choice for indoor or smooth-surface operations where floor protection and low rolling resistance matter. The unit is equipped with a fork positioner attachment, allowing the forks to be adjusted laterally without the operator needing to leave the cab — a practical feature that improves handling efficiency when dealing with varying load sizes. A full free-lift mast is fitted, enabling the forks to raise to a useful height without the mast itself extending upward, which is particularly valuable in height-restricted environments such as low-clearance warehouses. An overhead guard is also in place, providing standard operator protection.
The machine was manufactured in 2007 and is recorded at 3,500 hours, which the seller describes as presenting in like-new condition. It is located in Poland and is offered for sale at $20,900.
