About Yale Lift Truck Technologies

A leader in warehouse lift truck innovation

From a robust lineup of models to technology solutions, we are laser-focused on solving your toughest labor, safety and productivity challenges.

Lift truck design that begins and ends with the customer

Effective materials handling solutions go beyond simply moving product from point to point. At Yale, we believe your equipment should help you overcome problems — staffing shortfalls, safety risks, consumer expectations for fast, cheap delivery. It’s why we deliberately innovate and design each feature, each lift truck, each technology based on your challenges.

Know our customers

We’re always tracking industry trends and preparing for the next big thing to address the changing needs and challenges of our customers. As part of our blueprinting process, we spend hours consulting, interviewing and observing lift truck operators, warehouse managers, service technicians and other stakeholders to enrich our understanding of how you use the truck and the realities of your operations.

Prioritize what matters to our customers

Yale engineers work with our industry-focused teams and outside experts to translate the requirements into functional, cost-effective features and design. We are committed to providing optimized solutions for all our customers — the right trucks at the right price.

Engineer around the operator

We design lift trucks that reflect a deep understanding of the operator experience — enhancing comfort, building confidence and helping them perform at their best. Every detail considers how the operator interacts with the truck and how the truck engages with its application.

Iterate and validate with customers

New features, trucks and technologies are rigorously tested and refined based on customer feedback. Once they earn your stamp of approval, they are brought to market fast so they can get to work helping your operation.
