Yale Lift Truck Technologies

Yale Lift Truck Technologies is a prominent American brand of forklifts and warehouse lift trucks, with a history dating back to the late 19th century.

The brand is known for its comprehensive range of lift trucks, including electric, internal combustion, and warehouse equipment, as well as advanced technology solutions like the Yale Reliant™ operator assist system.

The Yale brand traces its origins to the Yale Lock Manufacturing Company, founded in 1868 in Stamford, Connecticut. In the early 20th century, the company began manufacturing electric hoists and eventually forklifts. The Yale & Towne Manufacturing Company, as it became known, was a pioneer in materials handling equipment. In 1989, Yale Materials Handling Corporation was acquired by NACCO Industries, which later spun off its materials handling division as Hyster-Yale Materials Handling, Inc. in 2012. Today, Yale Lift Truck Technologies operates as a subsidiary of Hyster-Yale, with manufacturing facilities and a global dealer network. The brand has consistently focused on innovation, introducing technologies like the Yale Reliant™ operator assist system to enhance warehouse safety and efficiency.
