Yale Lift Truck Technologies understands the critical role operators play in warehouse safety and efficiency. That’s why we’ve developed Yale Reliant, a groundbreaking suite of operator assistance systems designed to empower operators, support safety, and elevate warehouse performance.
Yale Reliant seamlessly integrates with the operator, proactively adjusting lift truck performance based on real-time conditions. This includes dynamic adjustments to speed and fork control, promoting the combined stability of the truck and load. The system prevents abrupt movements that could compromise stability, all while keeping the operator firmly in control of the forklift.
Advanced operator assistance features
Yale Reliant boasts a robust set of features designed to empower operators to create a safer, more efficient work environment.
Advanced Dynamic Stability (ADS) acts as the guardian of stability, continuously monitoring the truck and load status. It dynamically adjusts travel speed and smooths forklift and tilt movement to minimise the potential for tip-overs. ADS offers a comprehensive suite of functionalities, including lateral and longitudinal stability control, load slip assist, lift/lower soft stops, mast lift/lower control, tilt/reach soft stops, and overload arrest.
Equipped with two-dimensional LiDAR sensors, Yale Reliant’s object detection (OD) scans the environment for objects within the line of sight, particularly when the forks are trailing (e.g., sit-down counterbalanced truck traveling in reverse). This includes detecting trucks, pedestrians, and other obstacles. Upon detection, the OD system seamlessly adjusts lift truck performance using advanced traction and hydraulic controls, granting operators valuable additional reaction time.
Yale Reliant utilises ultra-wideband 360° proximity detection (PD) technology to detect tagged equipment, facility areas, and pedestrians in close proximity to the forklift. When such objects are identified, the PD system adjusts lift truck performance to provide operators with more time to react and navigate safely.
Real-Time Location Sensing (RTLS) is an innovative technology that leverages ultra-wideband technology to establish device-to-server connections, facilitating communication with equipped trucks, designated zones, and pedestrians. This real-time communication allows for the creation of customised location-specific rules. These rules can then be used to automatically limit lift truck performance when operating in specific areas of the facility.
Transforming features into tangible benefits
The true value of Yale Reliant becomes evident when witnessing its advanced technologies working in concert. This comprehensive suite empowers operators and optimises warehouse efficiency through an array of practical applications:
Overload Arrest: Yale Reliant helps prevent accidents by stopping operators from lifting or carrying loads exceeding the weight limit of the forklift.
Adaptive Speed Controls: Experience smooth and safe operation with adaptive speed controls that adjust automatically when cornering, raising a load, or encountering unfavourable tilt positions.
Exclusion Zones: Define restricted areas within your facility and prevent unauthorised equipment entry using designated exclusion zones.
Collision Avoidance Assist: Yale Reliant actively supports collision avoidance by significantly reducing travel speed when obstacles are detected, granting operators crucial extra time to react and avoid potential accidents.
Line-of-Sight Support: Enhance operator awareness and situational judgement with line-of-sight support features that minimise blind spots and improve overall visibility.
Location-Based Fork Height Restriction: Prevent potential damage to low-hanging beams or obstacles by setting location-based fork height restrictions.
End of Aisle Slowdown: Promote safety at intersections and aisle ends with automatic slowdown functionality that reduces travel speed upon approach.
Speed Control Zones: Define designated speed control zones within your facility to provide optimal traffic flow and minimise safety risks in high-traffic areas.
The Yale Reliant advantage
Yale Reliant represents a paradigm shift in operator assistance systems. It empowers operators with the tools and information they need to excel, while simultaneously supporting safety and optimising warehouse performance. By incorporating a comprehensive suite of advanced features, Yale Reliant delivers tangible benefits across a range of applications.
