The most active areas of any warehouse are the receiving and shipping locations. Because the docks are really crowded, trucks are engineered to be maneuverable, compact and have great visibility. Operators of lift trucks who are working on a dock must be able to step on and off of their truck, during their entire shift. In order to answer all of your horizontal transporting dock requirements, Yale features the MPE unit.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has engineered their lift trucks with the newest versions of alternative power technologies. Some of the alternative power technologies include electric batteries, liquid propane gas or LPG and clean diesel.
Upholding their tradition, Yale was among the first to use working fuel cells in actual applications. The company has supported the adoption of greener technologies through extensive internal testing, analysis and field validation. They closely work developing innovative collaborations with different engineers in order to come up with the best available product.
Yale continues to investigate more advanced and efficient battery chemistries and newer technologies in order to increase overall production, reduce toxic material content as well as reducing energy consumption. The company strives to remain committed to these initiatives and this belief system is reinforced through their participation in developing industry standards in order to safely adopt these greener technologies in a dependable manner.
Another huge consideration for the company is recyclability within the Yale lift truck design. From the very beginning design stage, Yale actively selects materials used in their machinery with the recyclability factor taken into consideration. This is amongst the many ways Yale tries to stay ahead of the competition and ensure their machinery makes less of a footprint compared to other types of forklifts in the field. By staying on top of the latest technological developments and trying to serve the natural environment at the same time, they have secured themselves among the leaders in the material handling industry.
