Yale incorporates telemetry as standard feature on broad range of warehouse lift trucks

Wireless monitoring now standard equipment on stand-up and counterbalanced lift trucks

GREENVILLE, N.C (June 24, 2025) – Yale Lift Truck Technologies announces that wireless monitoring, the base tier of the company’s Yale Vision™ telemetry system, will now be included as standard on several key warehouse lift truck models, including order pickers, reach trucks and turret trucks. The standard telemetry offering tracks forklift utilization, impacts, location and diagnostic trouble codes, and helps operations schedule and track preventive maintenance. As part of the standard offering, users get seven years of wireless communication at no additional charge.

“Yale Vison allows warehouses to put a critical eye to lift truck fleets, helping them better understand ongoing costs and operational performance,” says Darrell Hinnant, Commercial Director, Emerging Technology, Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “By including wireless monitoring as a standard feature, we’re giving fast-paced warehouses the visibility they need to maximize the lifetime value of their equipment, help reinforce proper operator behavior and help reduce avoidable damage and downtime.”

The wireless monitoring telemetry offering allows warehouse operations to track equipment utilization and link that to individual operators to help optimize workflows and boost productivity. To help improve safety and prevent avoidable damage, the system also delivers real-time impact notifications, alerting managers to impacts so they can identify the cause and take corrective action, such as additional operator training. Easy-to-use dashboards and analytics provide complete visibility from any internet-enabled device, allowing access to utilization, charging and maintenance information.

In addition to electric narrow aisle warehouse models, wireless monitoring is now also available standard on counterbalanced electric and internal combustion engine (ICE) lift trucks. Wireless monitoring is the first of three available tiers in the Yale Vision solution. The second tier, wireless access, adds key card identification that associates wireless monitoring information with specific operators, and enables impact lockout and inactivity shutdown. The third, wireless verification, helps operations maintain regulatory compliance by prohibiting truck operation until mandatory digital safety checklists – including OSHA pre-shift checklists – are complete.
