Typically, the shipping and receiving areas of any warehouse are the most active for a business. The shipping docks are very crowded, the trucks need to be compact, maneuverable and have great visibility. Operators of lift trucks who are working on a dock should be able to step off and on their truck, during their entire shift. To be able to solve all of your horizontal transporting dock requirements, Yale spotlights the MPE model.
Green Initiatives: In order to be compatible with new technology, Yale has engineered their lift trucks with the latest kinds of alternative power technologies. Several of the alternative power technologies comprise electric batteries, liquid propane gas or LPG and clean diesel.
Yale was amongst the first to use working fuel cells in actual applications, upholding the tradition. The company has supported the adoption of greener technologies through analysis, field validation and extensive internal testing. They closely work developing innovative collaborations with different engineers 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 output, decrease 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 so as to safely adopt these greener technologies in a reliable way.
Recyclability is another huge consideration for the company in its forklift design. Yale actively selects materials utilized in their machinery taking in account recyclability from the beginning of the design stage. This is one of the many ways Yale tries to stay ahead of the competition and ensure their equipment 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 the environment at the same time, they have secured themselves one of the leaders in the material handling business.
