Yale Lift Truck Technologies has announced the availability of its advanced dynamic stability (ADS) offering as a standalone option. ADS is one of the key technologies in the company’s Yale Reliant™ forklift operator assist solution. The technology is designed to maintain overall stability and reduce the potential for forklift tip-overs. It is available on a wide range of Yale models and was the main focus of the demonstrations at Yale’s MODEX exhibition.
Previously, ADS was only available in packaged solutions with one or more of the other Yale Reliant technologies, including object detection, proximity detection, and real-time location sensing. However, warehouse lift trucks can now be equipped with ADS as an independent option. ADS continuously monitors forklift and load status and automatically applies interventions in response to compromised stability. Adjustments are carefully measured to avoid abrupt shifts or jerks that can upset stability.
Joe Koch, Emerging Technology Sales Manager at Yale Lift Truck Technologies, said, “Forklift operator assist solutions are a vital step that warehouses can take to support inexperienced operators and help reduce the risk of accidents. With the standalone ADS option, operations with needs that may not warrant an investment in the detection or infrastructure required for other technologies in the Yale Reliant suite can now benefit from a more affordable and accessible solution.”
Warehouse workforces have more than doubled in just a decade, surging from 668,900 employees in 2011 to more than 1.7 million in 2021, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Many warehouses have relied heavily on inexperienced forklift operators as a coping mechanism, but that practice has exacerbated common safety and productivity challenges.
The MODEX demonstrations provided a deeper understanding of ADS’s unique approach relative to other systems on the market and illustrated how it responds in several scenarios to maintain stability. Yale Reliant operator assistance suite technologies, including object detection, proximity detection, and real-time location sensing, were also featured in the demonstrations.
