Yale Wins Green Awards from Multiple Publications for Lift Truck Power Suite

GREENVILLE, N.C. (June 08, 2020) – Yale Materials Handling Corporation announces recognition from two publications for its Power Suite, which provides advanced power solutions that help customers meet sustainability and performance targets. The 2020 edition marks the company’s ninth appearance on the Inbound Logistics list of 75 Green Supply Chain Partners and the seventh time Yale earned recognition as a Food Logistics Top Green Provider.

The Yale® Power Suite offers a choice of hydrogen fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, internal combustion engines and lead-acid batteries, available across a comprehensive range of lift trucks. This approach frees customers to make a decision based on their requirements for cost, labor, maintenance, emissions, space and performance. Operators can get the performance they need, with a more sustainable power option available on the trucks they use, helping eliminate emissions in operation and while charging.


For example, Yale’s lithium-ion battery option can charge in as little as 1-2 hours and offers automatic equalization with no cleaning, watering, cool down or equalization, generating zero harmful emissions while in operation or charging. Hydrogen fuel cells can be refueled in as quick as three minutes and enables a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to lead-acid batteries charged from the U.S. electrical grid.

“We’re committed to offering power solutions that not only help reduce emissions, but also help deliver a strong ROI through increased uptime, less maintenance and faster, more flexible charging or refueling,” says Brad Long, Brand Manager, Yale Materials Handling Corporation. “These recognitions offer continued validation for our approach to offering advanced power solutions and helping customers reap sustainability and performance benefits.”

The Inbound Logistics G75 list includes supply chain, logistics and transportation companies that exceed industry standards in criteria such as measurable green results, sustainability innovation and continuous improvement. Click the link for more information on the 2020 edition of the list.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
