The most active areas of any warehouse are the shipping and receiving areas. Because the docks are very congested, trucks are designed 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 whole shift. So as 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 versions of alternative power technologies in recent years so as to be compatible with new technology. Several of the alternative power technologies comprise liquid propane gas or LPG, clean diesel and electric batteries.
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 work closely developing innovative collaborations with various engineers to be able to create the best product available.
Yale continues to investigate more advanced and efficient battery chemistries and newer technologies to be able to increase overall output, lessen toxic material content as well as reducing energy consumption. 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 carefully adopt these greener technologies in a reliable manner.
Recyclability is another important consideration for the company in its forklift design. Yale actively chooses materials utilized in their machines taking in account 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 equipment 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 within the material handling business.
