The Yale MTC Series Man-Up Turret Trucks are battery-electric trucks designed for very narrow aisle warehousing, high-level pallet storage and order handling.
The range includes MTC10, MTC13 and MTC15 configurations, with rated capacities from 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg. With an elevated operator cabin, rotating turret head, AC power technology and configurable mast options, the MTC Series is designed to support productive material handling in high-density warehouse layouts.
The Yale MTC Series is designed for warehouses where available floor space and storage height are important operational considerations. Its man-up design raises the operator with the load-handling equipment, supporting high-level pallet handling and order-picking tasks.
Tri-form and quad-form mast designs provide torsional rigidity for elevated operation. The turret head rotates 180°, allowing the operator to handle loads on both sides of a narrow aisle without needing to turn the entire truck around for each pallet movement.
The MTC Series provides an adjustable control console and infinitely variable armrests to help operators achieve a suitable working position. Seat-side joystick controls support the operation of travel, cabin lift and lowering, auxiliary functions, and fork lift, lowering and rotation.
A high backrest and recessed swivel seat that flips up support seated or standing operation. The pedal-free floor incorporates a non-slip mat, helping maintain a clear operator area.
AC power technology supports travel performance, acceleration, power lowering and responsive changes in direction. The Smart-Glide™ continuous height-sensing system adjusts travel speed and acceleration according to fork height, helping coordinate truck movement with elevated load handling.
The MTC Series is designed with service accessibility in mind. A one-piece hood with rear gas-assist lifting cylinders provides access to motors and controllers. Brushless AC motors reduce maintenance associated with brushes, while pressure-side filter indicators, electric steering and fewer electrical connections support extended service intervals of up to 1,000 hours.
The top battery access lid also supports battery maintenance without requiring the battery to be removed from the truck.
