Yale Lift Truck Technologies has launched lithium-ion batteries with compatible chargers, specifically designed for selected Yale® pallet trucks, stackers, reach trucks, lift trucks, and other warehouse models. The unified solution of battery, charger, and materials handling equipment delivers smart energy for smart operations, and makes it simpler to acquire and maintain everything needed for a powerful and productive fleet from a single source – the global network of Yale dealer partners.
Validated as a fully-integrated system, the complete solution from Yale is designed to reduce compatibility challenges, all while providing a high-performance, maintenance free option that supports peak warehouse efficiency and reliability.
“Today’s warehouse challenges require smart thinking. With the unified lithium-ion battery and charging solutions installed, we are able to help operations bridge productivity gaps, and with the improvements in system efficiency, reduce the demands put on their facilities and power sources,” David LeBlanc, President, Energy Solutions, Yale Lift Truck Technologies explains. “With rising labour costs, energy costs, and new sustainability goals, the combination of lithium-ion power and Yale precision can deliver big business benefits.”
High performance battery technology from Yale supports quiet, clean operation in the warehouse. With the new lithium-ion options, there are no harmful gases, no need for battery rooms, and chargers can be placed in high-traffic areas to encourage opportunity charging.
The operator-friendly design also makes charging straightforward. Easy-access portals mean that the operator will not need to open the hood to charge the batteries. Built in interlock sensors prevent driving while plugged in.
With a high energy density, the new Yale lithium-ion batteries are well suited to demanding, multi-shift operations, such as those in 3rd party logistics warehouses or distribution centres. The batteries are designed to support uptime, with rapid charging and high-power output.
The new solution also helps elevate communications between batteries, chargers, and the lift truck. Yale Battery Vision telemetry is integrated, supporting efficiency by empowering fleet and service managers with access to real-time battery and lift truck data. The unified power systems remain seamlessly connected through updates and continuous syncing to support long-term compatibility and optimal performance.
To enable warehouse operations to scale battery and charging solutions and technologies to best meet their specific requirements and upgrade fleets easily, various battery box sizes and capacities are available. The batteries may also support sustainable asset management with a Battery Box Replacement (BBR) that enables second-life use.
“In many cases, adopting fast-charging lithium-ion lift trucks and equipment can keep warehouses moving at optimal efficiency,” says David. “However, this also relies on having the right support in place. That’s why Yale dealers are on hand to provide insight, advice, and solutions for businesses as they assess their fleet energy strategies. From battery selection and charger installation to warranty support and lifecycle management.”
The new lithium-ion batteries and charging systems are available to order now from independent Yale dealers.
