Yale expands availability of award-winning technology to support lift truck stability
21 März 2023 - 2:30PM
Yale Lift Truck Technologies announces the expanded availability of
Yale Reliant™, the company’s advanced operator assist solution, now
available on 13 additional Yale® lift truck models. Electric
counterbalanced trucks in the 3,000-12,000-pound capacity ranges
and the company’s very narrow aisle (VNA) turret truck and enclosed
end rider join the five other core warehouse models available with
the innovative operator assistance technology, which first launched
in 2021 as a first-of-its-kind solution and won recognition as a
product of the year.
The Yale Reliant solution uses multiple detection technologies
to monitor the surrounding environment and the status of the lift
truck and load. Where other approaches provide audible alerts,
which can get lost in the din of a busy warehouse environment, Yale
Reliant automatically adjusts lift truck performance so that
operators are alerted by feeling the truck respond, helping
reinforce best practices to support truck stability. The system
constantly monitors truck and load status to prioritize stability
as it implements hydraulic and traction controls. In practice, Yale
Reliant can provide warnings and assist with operator awareness by
proactively reducing truck speed if it detects something in the
monitored area, such as obstacles, other trucks or pedestrians.
“With OSHA estimating that nearly 100,000 injuries involving
forklifts occur annually, warehouses are constantly looking for
tools that can help support safety efforts for all types of lift
truck equipment, from order pickers and reach trucks to end riders
and counterbalanced trucks,” says Nic Temple, Director, Technology
Solutions, Yale. “But while we're already breaking new ground with
expanded availability on a broader range of lift truck types,
operator assist systems are still a relatively new entry to the
market. Trade shows like ProMat are the first opportunity for many
in the industry to see this technology and its practical
application.”
Visitors to ProMat can see Yale Reliant in action at booth
S-1212. Specifically, the booth focuses on detection technologies
and advanced truck stability. The detection technologies
demonstration shows how Yale Reliant helps operators detect
obstacles and implements performance triggers to slow down the
truck, providing operators with additional time to brake or steer
away. The advanced truck stability demonstration shows how the
system implements hydraulic and traction controls to help maintain
stability, based on continuous monitoring of truck and load
status.
“The booth demonstration is truly representative of real-world
capability, not a half-baked solution with narrow capabilities and
a limited track record,” says Temple. “We have over 2,500 units
commercially deployed with this technology, and our detection and
automated performance control capabilities prove themselves every
day in real-world warehouse environments.”
The technology is a finalist for the 2023 Edison Awards.
Previously, Yale Reliant was voted a 2021 product of the year by
readers of Material Handling Product News and
MaterialHandling247.com, and was a key example that won Yale
recognition from Food Logistics as a Top Software and Technology
Provider.
