The busiest places of any warehouse are the shipping and receiving areas. As the docks are extremely congested, trucks are designed to be compact, maneuverable 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 whole shift. In order to solve all of your horizontal transporting dock needs, Yale features the MPE model.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has engineered their lift trucks with the newest types of alternative power technologies. Some of the alternative power technologies include electric batteries, LPG or liquid propane gas and clean diesel.
Yale was amongst the very first to utilize working fuel cells in actual applications, upholding the tradition. The company has supported the implementation of greener technologies through field validation, extensive internal testing and analysis. They closely work with different engineers developing innovative collaborations in order to come up with the best product available.
Yale continues to investigate more efficient and advanced battery chemistries and newer technologies to be able to increase overall output, decrease energy consumption as well as reducing toxic material content. The company strives to remain dedicated to these initiatives and this belief system is reinforced through their participation in developing industry standards in order to carefully adopt these greener technologies in a reliable manner.
Recyclability is another important factor for the company in its forklift design. Yale actively selects materials used in their machines taking in account recyclability from the start of the design stage. This is one of the many ways Yale tries to stay ahead of the competition and make sure that their equipment makes less of a footprint compared to other forklifts in the field. By staying on top of the newest technological developments and trying to serve the environment at the same time, they have secured themselves one of the leaders within the material handling business.
