Base pallet truck

LOAD CAPACITY: 3,300 LBS
The Yale® MDW33NLG electric walkie pallet jack provides the load capacity and stability drivers need to offload pallets from trailers and cross parking lots and other uneven surfaces.

Nested motorized sled

LOAD CAPACITY: 1,200 LBS
The Yale® MDS12NLG electric motorized sled is designed to be lightweight, low-profile and highly maneuverable. It satisfies store restrictions against heavy equipment that can damage floors and allow drivers to easily navigate the final portion of delivery around pedestrians, through narrow store aisles and into other tight spaces like coolers and storerooms.

Also sold separately

Matching pallets

40 lightweight, narrow-footprint pallets stack tightly to save space in trailers and reduce the strain on drivers managing empty pallets.

Enhance ergonomics for delivery personnel

 

By combining the capabilities of a pallet truck and a handcart in one system, the nested delivery solution eliminates the need for unstacking and restacking cases from pallet jack to handcart — decreasing manual handling by as much as 50%. These ergonomic enhancements help improve employee satisfaction, retention and overall well-being. The ease of use also speeds up delivery times, which could help drivers complete routes in their allotted times or even add an extra stop without additional stress.

Built-in lithium-ion power for continuous performance

Integrated li-ion batteries with on-board chargers in both the pallet truck and the motorized sled keep performance strong throughout the route. A smart charge option automatically prioritizes charging to whichever component needs more power. Additionally, the Route Runner can be charged in the back of the truck through a standard 110v outlet.
