The multipurpose MRO16-20 outdoor reach truck is a flexible solution for industries where outdoor storage and handling activities are an important part of your warehousing and intralogistics operations.
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. Use it to load and unload lorries in the yard like a counterbalance truck would, or to reach up to 7.5m in height for working in warehouse racking. 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. This can help when travelling between the warehouse and the yard, from indoors to outdoors.
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.
By providing operators with optimised visibility, the Yale MRO16-20 is also designed for productivity, helping operations move more loads per hour. The truck is designed to enhance visibility of floor traffic and pedestrians, as well as for good downward visibility, all of which helps operators move efficiently and confidently.
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 while a working light can also be chosen to assist visibility in dark environments, helping productivity and the easy handling of goods. Further optional operator assistance systems include cameras on the forks, load backrest, and mast, as well as a laser positioning system, and height selectors.
Overall productivity may also be enhanced with the high levels of comfort that operators can enjoy when selecting an air suspended seat option. The standard full-suspension Grammer MSG 20 seat can be easily adjusted to the weight of the individual operator, which can help deliver a more comfortable ride on uneven floors outside. The optional Grammer MSG 65 air suspended seat features a wider adjustment range. As well as a more spacious seat, lumbar support, seat cover options, and headrest, this seat also offers increased suspension. This helps to absorb vibrations, making travel more comfortable for operators that may spend more time working outside.
