Yale

In the North American market, Yale is one of the biggest volume producers of zero emissions electric lift trucks around. The business was among the first to apply the energy efficiency of control technology and AC motor. Yale's continued pursuit of superior energy efficiency is improved further by competitive testing. All these testing results showcase that Yale's 5000 pound electric rider unit offers the best energy efficiency, or energy utilized per load moved, of any lift truck in its class within North America.

Green Innovations
Yale was able to develop and introduce a ground-breaking electronically controlled transmission which could really reduce the tire and brake wear for our ICE lift truck clients. With regards to our electric lift trucks, Yale has implemented a system to recapture energy into the truck during the lowering of loads and during braking. This energy could then be reused. This process greatly lowers the unit's overall energy consumption.

Yale has utilized lots of innovative engineering methods to decrease non-productive energy use throughout the vehicle by means of hydraulic system efficiency, drive train efficiency and weight reduction. There are still pending patents on the drive train efficiency.

Green Initiatives
Over the past few decades, Yale has gone the extra mile in engineering their forklifts to be compatible with all the newest in alternative power technologies. Yale has implemented LPG option, electric battery units, clean diesel fuels. This practice is being upheld most recently, with the business being amongst the first to implement working fuel cells in actual applications.

Through engineering collaboration, Yale has supported the adoption of numerous greener technologies. Moreover, we have started a new system of field validation testing, and analysis. At the current time, we are investigating in more effective battery technologies and chemistries, so as to increase productivity, reduce overall energy use and decrease toxic material content.

Yale has shown a great commitment to green initiatives which have been reinforced by the companies focus on developing new standards in the industry.

One more prime consideration in Yale forklift design is recyclability. Starting at the design stage, Yale actively selects materials for its forklifts keeping the recyclability factor in mind. Re-using materials as much as possible and having broken down things to be able to be sent for recycling keeps environmental sustainability at the forefront of our company and greatly reduces our footprint.
