The most active places of any warehouse are the shipping and receiving areas. As the docks are really crowded, trucks are engineered to be maneuverable, compact 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. In order to answer all of your horizontal transporting dock requirements, Yale features the MPE model.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has engineered their lift trucks with the latest versions of alternative power technologies. Some of the alternative power technologies comprise clean diesels, electric batteries and LPG or liquid propane gas.
Upholding their tradition, Yale was among the first to use working fuel cells in actual applications. The company has supported the implementation of greener technologies through field validation, extensive internal testing and analysis. They closely work with various engineers developing innovative collaborations to be able to create the best product available.
Yale continues to investigate more efficient and advanced battery chemistries and newer technologies in order to increase overall productivity, decrease toxic material content as well as reducing energy consumption. The company strives to remain dedicated to these initiatives and this belief system is reinforced through participating in developing industry standards so as to safely adopt these greener technologies in a reliable manner.
Recyclability is one more important consideration for the company in its forklift design. Yale actively chooses materials utilized in their equipment 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 ensure their machinery makes less of a footprint compared to other forklifts in the field. By staying on top of the newest technological developments and trying to help the natural environment at the same time, they have secured themselves among the leaders within the material handling business.
