Green Award for Yale Lift Truck Power Technologies

Yale Materials Handling Corporation has been named a 2022 Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics. The award recognizes the company’s growing lineup of lift trucks powered by factory integrated lithium-ion battery power and the Yale Power Suite, a comprehensive range of motive power sources available on a broad lineup of lift trucks.

Green Award for Yale Lift Truck Power Technologies

The win marks the 11th consecutive year that Yale has been named a Green Supply Chain Partner. The company has earned more than 20 green award wins recognizing its decades of experience in engineering and manufacturing electric lift truck technology.

As sustainability initiatives grow more aggressive and fuel prices see dramatic increases, more businesses are turning to lift truck electrification as a way to meet emissions targets and lower their total cost of operation,

says Brad Long, Brand Manager, Yale Materials Handling Corporation.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive set of choices, accompanied by expert guidance to help operations select the power solution that best suits their needs, not only for emissions and cost, but also labor, maintenance and other criteria.

Most recently, Yale has introduced two new factory integrated lithium-ion trucks with a 4,000-pound capacity, a three-wheel and a four-wheel model. The trucks make it even easier for warehouses to get the critical workhorses they need, while also reaping the benefits of the advanced electric power source, whether they are transitioning from internal combustion engine-powered trucks or lead-acid batteries. The complete lineup of integrated lithium-ion trucks from Yale provides fast charging, a long battery life, zero emissions during operation and no gassing in battery charging or maintenance processes.

Green Award for Yale Forklifts

In addition to factory integrated lithium-ion trucks, Yale offers a series of lithium-ion ready lift trucks, which allow operations to switch between lead-acid and lithium-ion power using truck controls. The Yale Power Suite also includes:

  • Hydrogen fuel cells — Offering ICE-like performance with the maintenance-friendly attributes of electric power, hydrogen fuel cells refuel in as little as three minutes and provide consistent power delivery.
  • Lead-acid batteries — This electric power source allows facilities to meet air quality and emissions benchmarks with a low up-front cost.
  • Internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks — These EPA-certified lift trucks deliver exceptional durability and power delivery, even while carrying the heaviest loads in high-capacity applications.

The Yale Power Suite’s wide array of options gives operations the freedom to select the power source that best suits them, rather than being restricted to limited choices. Power experts from Yale guide operations through a consultative process to help select the right power option for their unique application.

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

Combining Yale Forklift Parts and Labor

One of the unique aspects of the Yale forklift products, service, and parts program is that they offer a fleet service that you can sign up for with the dealers. This gives you access to replacement parts at a discount, and ensures that they will be delivered to you in a timely manner. In the industrial sector, time is money so there is no time to sit around waiting for your forklifts to be repaired, or wait for the replacement parts to be flown in from some other location. Another thing to think about in terms of the time it takes to receive replacement parts is that Yale forklift parts may have to arrive from abroad if you have ordered your forklift model from a region that you’re not currently living in. While purchasing from a global company such as this one has many benefits, one of the downsides could include the fact that then you have to find the service locations in remote locations of the world. The company has made every effort, however, to ensure that as many parts
