Yale expands tow tractor range Yale MT70 / MT80

Yale Europe Materials Handling expands its tow tractor range with two new models offering greater towing capacities. The Yale® MT70 three-wheel and MT80 four-wheel rider tow tractors are ideally suited to busy automotive manufacturing applications, as well as other just-in-sequence (JIS) and just-in-time (JIT) environments.

Capable of towing up to 7000 kg or 8000 kg respectively, the Yale rider tow tractors help manufacturing operations transport material to production lines and is ideal for line-feed operations or applications where the tractors are required to operate inside and out.



The new tow tractors join the established M050-70T standing models, and are fully compatible with the Yale® modular tugger train system. The full range means Yale offers both standing and rider tow tractor solutions.

“The new tow tractor models are ideal for the logistics ‘milk run’,” says Tracy Brooks, Automotive Industry Manager for Yale. “These tractors can tow several trailers, delivering new kits to the line operators while collecting empty containers simultaneously. In combination with the Yale tugger train system, customers can modify their solution to meet the exact needs of their line-feed operation.”

Yale M050T-70T Ergonomic features

  • Scooter control with electric steering reduces operator fatigue and allows the operator to remain within the footprint of the truck for protection
  • Low step height reduces operator fatigue
  • The large suspended platform with personnel present sensor covers the complete platform. This allows the operator to locate the most comfortable operating position and pass through from both sides
  • The effortless electrical steering and automatic speed reduction on cornering ensure excellent control and high productivity
  • The anti-roll back system on ramps and gradients ensures efficient operation

Yale M050T-70T Productivity features

  • The AC drive motor of the tow tractor delivers high performance acceleration and travel speed and braking making the MO50-70T series ideal for stop and go applications
  • Adjustable performance settings allow the truck to be customised to the needs of the application and operator
  • Slow speed forward and reverse direction buttons (coasting function) are located on both sides of the backrest to allow the operator to walk alongside the truck to the next picking location
  • Different types of coupling are available to suit particular trailer needs
  • Large battery capacity
  • Side battery extraction is available on all models

For customers in the automotive industry, the capabilities of the rider tow tractors allow for increased efficiency in their logistics. To support transitional runs between internal and external use, these models can be fitted with a steel cab. The three-wheel MT70 is available with roll-up PVC doors for outdoor use and offers outstanding manoeuvrability. The four-wheel MT80 has a cab option with hinged doors that can be locked, and provides stability over rough or uneven surfaces. The ergonomics-centric philosophy of Yale is also present, with an easy one-step access into the tractor and a comfortable suspended seat.

Both models are delivered fully prepped to work with the Yale Vision telematics system, which simplifies installation for customers who choose to retro-fit the solution. Yale Vision provides convenient web-based asset management from anywhere, at any time. This means that fleet performance, operator performance, and truck efficiency data can be easily captured and analysed.

“Our approach to product development is based on a formal process of customer consultation. The introduction of these two new tow tractors is a demonstration of this,” concludes Tracy.
