Typically, the shipping and receiving areas of any warehouse are the busiest for a company. The shipping docks are really crowded, the trucks have 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, throughout their whole shift. In order to solve all of your horizontal transporting dock needs, Yale spotlights the MPE model.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has designed their lift trucks with the latest versions of alternative power technologies. Several of the alternative power technologies include electric batteries, LPG or liquid propane gas and clean diesel.
Yale was amongst the first to utilize working fuel cells in actual applications, upholding the tradition. The company has supported the implementation of greener technologies through analysis, field validation and extensive internal testing. They work closely with various engineers developing innovative collaborations to be able to create the best available product.
Yale continues to investigate more efficient and advanced battery chemistries and newer technologies in order to increase overall production, reduce energy consumption as well as reducing toxic material content. The company strives to remain committed to these initiatives and this belief system is reinforced through their participation in developing industry standards in order to safely adopt these greener technologies in a reliable way.
Another huge factor for the company is recyclability within the Yale design of lift trucks. From the very beginning design stage, Yale actively chooses materials used in their machines with the recyclability factor taken into consideration. This is among the many ways Yale tries to stay ahead of the competition and make sure that their machinery makes less of a footprint compared to other kinds of forklifts in the field. By staying on top of the latest technological developments and trying to serve nature at the same time, they have secured themselves among the leaders within the material handling industry.
