The busiest places of any warehouse are the shipping and receiving areas. As the docks are very congested, trucks are designed to be maneuverable, compact and have great visibility. Lift truck operators who are working on a dock need to be able to step off and on their truck, throughout their whole shift. To be able to answer all of your horizontal transporting dock requirements, Yale features the MPE unit.
Green Initiatives: The lift trucks have been engineered with the newest kinds of alternative power technologies in recent years in order to be compatible with new technology. Several of the alternative power technologies include electric batteries, LPG or liquid propane gas and clean diesel.
Upholding their tradition, Yale was among the first to utilize working fuel cells in actual applications. The company has supported the adoption of greener technologies through field validation, extensive internal testing and analysis. They work closely developing innovative collaborations with various engineers to be able 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 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 carefully adopt these greener technologies in a reliable way.
One more important factor for the company is recyclability in the Yale design of lift trucks. From the very beginning design stage, Yale actively selects materials used in their machinery with the recyclability factor taken into account. This is among 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 serve the environment at the same time, they have secured themselves one of the leaders in the material handling business.
