This new truck is positioned to aid the streamlining of vehicle-to-warehouse movements by combining the functionality of two traditional trucks into one product. Here are four ways it may benefit your warehouse operation.
1. Use it inside or outside
The new outdoor reach truck from Yale Lift Truck Technologies is well suited to sites with mixed indoor and outdoor applications, thanks to a combination of Super Elastic tyres and the design philosophy of a reach truck.
The outdoor reach truck offers flexibility. It can transition from outdoor movement of goods to indoor stacking and picking. With Super Elastic tyres, operators also have a comfortable ride and less stress is placed on the truck’s components.
2. Consolidate your fleet
The Yale MRO16-20 enables warehouse managers to consolidate their fleet. That’s because the multipurpose MRO16-20 outdoor reach truck can handle goods just as a counterbalance truck would. However, it can also reach up to 7.5m in height. This allows operators to perform both functions with just one truck.
3. Operate outdoors in comfort
With a range of configurable options, the new MRO Series indoor and outdoor reach trucks support flexibility. Warehouse applications can tailor their trucks to the specific working environment. For example, options such as a partial or full cab for outdoor weather protection, with windscreen wipers that enable the truck to continue working in rainy conditions.
4. Flexible customisation options
The Yale MRO16-20 outdoor reach trucks can also be fitted with operator assistance systems such as Pedestrian Awareness Lights and a Side Red Line system. These may help alert others to the presence or proximity of the reach truck. A working light can also be chosen to assist visibility in dark environments, helping productivity and the easy handling of goods.
Overall productivity may also be enhanced with the high levels of comfort that operators can enjoy when selecting an air suspended seat option.
A reach truck for your evolving warehouse
This multi-functional concept, with the use of Super Elastic tyres and other key features, may prove to be very useful for businesses that may now need to operate both indoors and outdoors. Speak to your local independent Yale dealer for advice or to order a Yale outdoor reach truck now.
