Technology addressing warehouse challenges

Yale Lift Truck Technologies will present an interactive booth experience at Modex 2026 in Atlanta, April 13-16. Show attendees will be able to experience lift truck solutions engineered around their everyday labour, safety and productivity challenges, including warehouse trucks with exceptional ergonomics, a purpose-built direct-store delivery solution and advanced automation technologies that help warehouses address the limited supply of experienced lift truck operators.

“Every day, we hear from our customers that they’re struggling to meet demand for high volumes, manage more SKUs and deliver orders ever faster, in large part due to a longstanding labor shortage,” said Brad Long, manager of Global Brand Strategy and Governance at Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “We’ve been laser focused on engineering solutions to meet warehouses where they are and help solve those labour and productivity challenges, and we’re bringing a comprehensive showcase of those solutions to Modex.”

The booth will feature several exhibits and live demonstrations, including:

• An interactive experience featuring the Yale Relay automated lift truck portal, which will allow visitors to set up and remap lift truck routes – no coding or software engineering experience required
• A live demonstration of Yale Reliant operator assistance technologies that can automatically intervene to help operators avoid accidents and reinforce forklift best practices, including the award-winning Yale Reliant pedestrian awareness camera
• An up-close look at Yale Route Runner, a two-in-one solution for direct-store delivery that features a pallet truck and a detachable, nested sled, removing the need for drivers to haul two pieces of equipment between the delivery trailer and storefront
• A full lineup of warehouse lift trucks, including the recently-updated three-wheel stand-up truck for dock-to-stock warehouse tasks and a new counterbalanced truck with integrated lithium-ion battery power
