Yale Europe develops driving lights
Fleet, United Kingdom
Yale Europe Materials Handling has responded to feedback from forklift operators by developing mast-mounted LED driving lights for its counterbalance truck series.

The lights aid operators that work in light-deprived areas like ISO containers or block-stacking applications.
