Smart lifting and slowdown with new pallet truck

A new pedestrian powered pallet truck has been introduced by Yale Europe Materials Handling, which is said to offer enhanced productivity capabilities and a smoother and more efficient operator experience.

The Yale MP 16-22 Series introduces the company’s Smart Lift and Smart Slow Dow technology which improves operator productivity.

Yale found that operators using a single fluid motion to lift and move loads resulted in increased productivity as a result of reduced cycle times. Smart Lift allows all operators to execute this method by allowing them to lift loads and start transporting the pallet before it is at full lift, eliminating the need for the operator to continually hold the lift button while waiting for the lift cycle to complete.

Smart Slow Down further increases operator confidence by helping to ensure that the load remains stable as the truck changes direction. The technology automatically detects any significant turns and reduces the speed of the truck accordingly, assisting the operator to maintain stability of the truck and load.
