Here’s how Yale Materials Handling solutions can help your retail industry operation to remain competitive and keep costs down.
Enhance operator productivity to meet demand
Speed and agility are essential to meet same-day delivery expectations. This means putting away and retrieving pallets faster, and increasing picking rates. Yale warehouse equipment is engineered with advanced technologies to support for high throughput applications.
For instance, the dependable and efficient Yale MSXD Platform Double Stacker features a compact chassis for excellent manoeuvrability, and is ergonomically designed to suit different operator skills for controlled, reliable and comfortable operation.
The Yale MO Series Low Level Order Picker, which offers fast travel speed and an adjustable performance setting, also features a scooter control steering device, which enhances ergonomics and productivity. A large platform area increases operator comfort and allows easier pass through to optimise picking from both sides.
Optimise retail warehouse space
The escalation of SKU counts, due to the continual growth and change in customer demand and inclination, results in the need for more retail warehousing space. Often one of the greatest capital expenses. The right mix of Yale Materials Handling warehouse solutions can help to use your storage space more efficiently and cost effectively.
You might choose to expand vertically, by increasing the height of your racking. The Yale MR series Reach Truck’s mast lifts up to 14m, to access tall racking. Furthermore, to facilitate fast cycle times, and more loads moved per hour, there is an optional travel speed of 14 km/h. The MR series offers the next level in reach truck productivity, delivered through innovation, technology, and ergonomic design. Its features include a heavy duty, high-capacity mast, precise fork positioning, and energy efficiency.
You could also choose to optimise horizontal space by narrowing your aisles. The Yale Very Narrow Aisle MTC10-15 has a 1000-1500kg load capacity and the SPED option is capable of lifting to a height of over 18m. It also delivers the ergonomics, stability and performance necessary for maximum productivity in high-density warehousing.
Address labour challenges and control costs
In addition to rising wages, the constant cycle of hiring and retraining workers may be further swelling operating costs. Robotic lift trucks can help drive greater efficiency, productivity, and reliability in your operation.
You can evaluate how you utilise labour and allocate workers only for responsibilities that make the most productive use of their time, considering alternatives for lower-value, repetitive tasks. Robotic lift trucks are ideal for performing those repetitive tasks, such as movement of pallets in the warehouse environment and loading and unloading.
The robotic Yale MC-10-15 Counterbalance Stacker offers cost efficient transfer and a regular, sustained constant flow, taking care of stock replenishment and transporting goods.
Reduce downtime and cost of ownership
Reliability, dependability and a low cost of ownership, are built in to Yale Materials Handling equipment, which also offer long service intervals. Maintenance and service support are also provided by our network of authorised Yale dealers.
