- Capacity
- 15000lbs
The Yale Relay™ automated tow tractor can be configured to handle a variety of horizontal load transportation tasks common in warehouses. Compatible with all cart styles and models, it is a simple, cost-effective automated solution for a variety of repetitive indoor point-to-point transfers, including:
- Replenishing stock and hauling inventory
- Transporting product from one conveyor to another
- Transporting waste
- Moving raw materials
- Kitting separate items to be supplied as one unit
- Sequencing in assembly operations
Automated tow tractors keep pace when operations can’t keep up

Autonomous experience
Easy maintenance
Flexible cart options
Deploying automated tow tractors in your warehouse doesn’t involve complicated software engineering and often does not require any special infrastructure.
· Simple setup. Mapping your warehouse is as easy as manually operating the automated tow tractor through your warehouse and dropping waypoints in a user-friendly portal.
· Independent navigation. The automated tow tractor uses a simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm to create the map and check the autonomous tugger’s location against that map.
· 2D LiDAR guidance. This automated tugger is equipped with a 2D LiDAR system that understands the truck’s position and direction of travel.
· Path obstruction detection. Sensors along the bottom of the robotic tugger detect low-lying objects while a 3D camera system looks for suspended objects in the travel path. The truck slows and then stops until the obstruction moves or has been removed.
· Operator presence detection. A second 3D camera directed at the operator compartment checks for operator presence to prevent automated movement if someone is present but has not switched the truck to manual mode.
Charge, hitch and unhitch without operator or supervisor intervention. Our automated lift trucks aren’t one-off solutions or aftermarket retrofits. They are built in-house, offering a tightly integrated package with greater convenience for customers and product consistency.
· Hands-free charging. The tow tractor is equipped with automated wireless charging, enabling the truck to return to a charging station and dock on its own.
· Autonomous hitching. The available automated hitch and unhitch option allows the tow tractor to connect and disconnect carts between tows automatically, enabling product movement with even less human involvement.
Some approaches to automated lift trucks involve disjointed integration, fragmented support from multiple providers and long waits for offshore support. Yale Relay automated tow tractors are standard lift truck models equipped with robotic technology, enabling service continuity and flexible operation.
· Local support. The seamless support of the extensive Yale® dealer network is at the ready for training, parts and service.
· Familiar parts, fewer delays. The automated tow tractor uses the same parts as the manual model, enabling convenient service and support.
· Maintenance-friendly design. Automation components like LiDAR and sensors are integrated separately to allow updates and service without interfering with other components.
Use any cart you need. Regardless of whether it is equipped with automated hitch-unhitch, the automated tow tractor is designed to use a variety of hitches that are compatible with all cart styles and models.
· Full range of carts. Flatbed, pallet, mother-daughter, shelf and purpose-built carts address a wide range of material handling workflows that can be managed with an autonomous tugger.
· Complete complement of hitches. Choice of multipurpose, ball and auto-hitch/unhitch connectors allow warehouses to get the right fit, from standard lunette connectors, to options that reduce noise and jarring for delicate loads or minimize operator involvement.
