The busiest areas of any warehouse are the shipping and receiving areas. Because the docks are extremely congested, trucks are engineered 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 entire shift. In order to answer all of your horizontal transporting dock requirements, Yale features the MPE unit.
Green Initiatives: The lift trucks have been engineered with the latest types of alternative power technologies in recent years in order to be compatible with new technology. Several of the alternative power technologies include electric batteries, liquid propane gas or LPG and clean diesel.
Yale was among the first to use working fuel cells in actual applications, upholding the tradition. The company has supported the adoption of greener technologies through extensive internal testing, analysis and field validation. They closely work developing innovative collaborations with various engineers to be able to create the best product available.
Yale continues to investigate more efficient and advanced battery chemistries and newer technologies to be able to increase overall production, 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 carefully adopt these greener technologies in a dependable manner.
Recyclability is one more huge consideration for the company in its lift truck design. Yale actively selects materials used in their machines taking in consideration recyclability from the beginning of the design stage. This is among the numerous 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 newest technological developments and trying to serve the natural environment at the same time, they have secured themselves one of the leaders in the material handling industry.
