Are lift truck accidents and close calls like this too familiar? .
Every lift truck incident and accident impacts warehouse safety, operating costs and throughput. When combined with training, operator assist technologies support operators and enhance operational efficiency. It’s not just about safety. It’s about propelling your operation forward.
Yale Reliant active alerts deliver real-time awareness of obstacles and pedestrians, helping forklift operators avoid collisions while keeping workflows moving efficiently.
Designed around real warehouse workflows and challenges, obstruction awareness helps identify potential hazards sooner and communicates them through intuitive visual and audible signals. This added awareness helps lift truck operators respond confidently and proactively, reducing the chance for minor obstructions to escalate into costly disruptions.
High-traffic warehouses grapple with pedestrians crossing into a lift truck’s path unexpectedly. Pedestrian awareness solutions help address this challenge by detecting nearby people through camera or badge technology and alerting operators so they can act sooner.
Pedestrian detection event dashboard: Managers of fleets using the pedestrian awareness camera and wireless verification, an advanced offering of Yale Vision telemetry, gain access to a pedestrian detection event dashboard at no additional charge. The dashboard provides clear visibility into pedestrian detection events across multiple sites and lift trucks.
When operating conditions move outside safe thresholds, Yale Reliant active interventions step in to assist the operator. This automatic action is an added layer of collaborative support for operators behind the wheel in critical moments, helping them protect themselves, people and equipment without disrupting their workflows.
Limits travel speed and acceleration when lift height exceeds specified thresholds or during load handling and mast tilting to help maintain stability and control.
Controls hydraulic lift and tilt rates in certain circumstances, such as when load stability is at risk. Provides soft ceiling and soft floor limits to reduce hydraulic shock, enhancing operator comfort and overall handling smoothness.
Restricts travel speed when loads are elevated above the height threshold to enhance stability, helping maintain lift truck balance and giving operators better control when handling loads at height.
Limits mast tilt speed and angle when the forks are raised with a load, promoting more controlled handling, improving stability and reducing the risk of forward tipping and load loss.
Moderates speed during tight turns and when cornering to help enhance forklift stability, reduce the risk of tipping and maintain smooth, controlled operation.
Decreases lift truck speed when hazards are detected, giving operators critical seconds to steer away or come to a stop to prevent collisions with people, product and equipment.
Slows the lift truck at intersections and at the ends of aisles, giving operators more time to respond to pedestrians, other equipment or obstacles they may not have seen on their approach.
Limits truck and mast speed in defined low-clearance zones until forks are lowered or the truck exits, helping operators avoid collisions with overhead obstacles.
Slows the lift truck to a crawl in designated areas, helping keep operators out of restricted zones like pedestrian-only or hazardous material storage areas.
Restricts travel speed in crosswalks and high-traffic zones, helping operators maintain control and giving them critical reaction time to prevent collisions and reduce the risk of pedestrian-involved accidents.
Intelligently disables location-based restrictions in specific situations, giving operators flexibility to work without unnecessary restraints, such as areas where nearby pedestrians are physically separated from the truck and in tight aisles when trucks are running on guided paths.

Yale Reliant continuously monitors environmental inputs and forklift operation and alerts the operator in real time to proactively change their behavior. Active interventions go a step further, assisting by automatically changing the truck’s behavior to help prevent tip-overs, reduce sudden movements that can compromise stability and promote safe handling of loads.
Although Yale Reliant is intuitive, operators should receive brief training to understand what alerts are communicating, how the solution interacts with their inputs and how it applies interventions to assist them.
Depending on the forklift model and configuration, the pedestrian awareness camera and certain aftermarket capabilities may be available for retrofit. Contact a certified Yale® dealer for compatibility and installation options.
By helping to enhance the stability of loads and trucks, and by reducing risk of collisions or other accidents, operators can move materials more efficiently and with fewer errors, improving overall operational throughput.
No. Interventions subtly modify forklift performance, while leaving the operator in control of the truck.
The stability systems adjust lift, tilt and speed in real-time to help maintain stability, supporting operators in navigating obstacles, ramps or uneven surfaces safely.
Yes. It can complement other Yale solutions like telemetry, lights and alarms, load positioners and other features to help you run a safe, efficient material handling environment.
