Operational safety is paramount
Pharmaceutical manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations work to strict safety and hygiene requirements, while often handling sensitive substances. Contamination or damage of loads is not tolerated. Upholding quality standards extends right across the materials handling operation. This is where Yale® lithium-ion forklifts provide the reliability and support that pharma operations need.
The Yale ERP25-30VLL four-wheel electric forklift series leads the way for power source innovation. The electric forklifts feature an integrated lithium-ion battery which reduces the risk of a chemical spillage, compared to a lead acid battery. This helps clean pharmaceutical warehouse environments to uphold their high hygiene standards.
In some regions, regulatory bodies for medicines and healthcare products will also dictate specific standards for cleanliness in pharmaceutical warehouses. Lithium-ion forklifts may help operations to comply, as they produce no emissions while in operation, and no gassing during the charging process.
Speed, quality, and efficiency
Patients and customers rely on pharmaceutical and healthcare products. The intralogistics landscape is changing, seeing some operations expected to deliver faster than ever. Pharmaceutical logistics is no exception. Where downtime and inefficiency need to be avoided, Yale lithium-ion lift trucks can support operations to run at peak performance.
Lithium-ion batteries are an advanced power source which can help keep trucks moving all shift long. The Yale VLL forklifts, which lift up to 3-tonnes, may reach full charge in less than an hour, depending on the battery, charger, and model. This can help provide consistent power delivery to keep operations productive, and have a long battery life. When charging is needed, this can be done on an opportunity basis, keeping trucks operational for as much of the shift as possible.
The lithium-ion batteries for the Yale VLL electric lift trucks are also maintenance free, helping to eliminate downtime related to battery maintenance.
