YALE retraction
October 13th 2008

The new AC powered MC 10-15 pedestrian/rider stacker truck from Yale is suitable for the many handling situations where counterbalance trucks are too large or too heavy, a mezzanine floor application for example. The new AC powered MC10-12-15 pedestrian rider stacker can also provide companies with a solution where there is a need for an employee who has undergone the required equipment familiarisation and training by an accredited training organisation but does not hold a counterbalance or reach truck licence to occasionally move, lift or stack a pallet or stillage in a confined area. The Yale MC10-12-15 provides companies with the increased demand for workforce flexibility whilst ensuring materials handling best practice and operation of equipment within ACoP guide lines for the use of pedestrian and rider controlled materials handling equipment are met.

Any misunderstanding as a result of information published in the August 08 edition of the Warehouse Supplement of Handling and Storage Solutions as to the correct use and operation of the new Yale MC10-12-15 is regretted and Yale emphasises that all its materials handling equipment should only be operated by employees who have undergone the appropriate training as required by the Health and Safety Executive ‘Approved Code of Practice’ (ACoP L117 Rider Operated Trucks) and as recommended by the accredited truck training organisations.
