Yale Lift Truck Technologies has announced the base tier of its Yale Vision telemetry system will now be included as standard on several of its range of forklifts, order pickers and reach trucks.

Yale Vision tracks a number of key metrics including forklift utilisation, impacts, location and diagnostic trouble codes, as well as helping with operations scheduling and tracking preventive maintenance. 

Seven years of wireless communication is included in the basic Yale Visions telly package.

“Yale Vison allows warehouses to put a critical eye to lift truck fleets, helping them better understand ongoing costs and operational performance,” says Darrell Hinnant, commercial director, emerging technology, Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “By including wireless monitoring as a standard feature, we’re giving fast-paced warehouses the visibility they need to maximise the lifetime value of their equipment, help reinforce proper operator behaviour and help reduce avoidable damage and downtime.”

Yale Lift Truck Technologies says the wireless monitoring telemetry allows warehouse operations to track equipment utilisation and link that to individual operators to help optimise workflows and boost productivity. 

“To help improve safety and prevent avoidable damage, the system also delivers real-time impact notifications, alerting managers to impacts so they can identify the cause and take corrective action, such as additional operator training,” Yale adds. 

“Easy-to-use dashboards and analytics provide complete visibility from any internet-enabled device, allowing access to utilisation, charging and maintenance information.”
