Usually, the shipping and receiving areas of any warehouse are the most active for a company. The shipping docks are very congested, the trucks need to be compact, maneuverable and have great visibility. Lift truck operators who are working on a dock must be able to step on and off of their truck, throughout their whole shift. To be able to answer all of your horizontal transporting dock needs, Yale features the MPE unit.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has designed their lift trucks with the newest types of alternative power technologies. Some of the alternative power technologies comprise electric batteries, liquid propane gas or LPG and clean diesel.
Upholding their tradition, Yale was amongst the very first to use working fuel cells in actual applications. The company has supported the adoption of greener technologies through field validation, extensive internal testing and analysis. They closely work with different engineers developing innovative collaborations to be able to come up with the best product available.
Yale continues to investigate more advanced and efficient battery chemistries and newer technologies in order to increase overall productivity, lessen 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 so as to safely adopt these greener technologies in a reliable way.
Recyclability is one more huge consideration for the company in its forklift design. Yale actively chooses materials used in their equipment taking in consideration recyclability from the beginning of the design stage. This is among the many ways Yale tries to stay ahead of the competition and ensure 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 nature at the same time, they have secured themselves among the leaders within the material handling business.
