Deliver more efficiently with the Route Runner, an innovative nested delivery solution designed for direct-store delivery, last-mile distribution, beverage delivery, retail replenishment, and food service applications. Combining a heavy-duty pallet truck with a lightweight motorized sled, the Route Runner helps drivers move products from the truck to the final point of delivery with greater safety, speed, and flexibility.

Why Choose the Route Runner?

The Route Runner provides two purpose-built delivery tools in one solution.

 

Heavy-Duty Walkie Pallet Truck

The Yale MDW33NLG electric pallet truck handles the toughest part of the delivery process, moving loads across parking lots, loading docks, and uneven outdoor surfaces with confidence. It offers up to 3,300 lbs. capacity.

Lightweight Motorized Sled

The Yale MDS12NLG motorized sled separates from the pallet truck to navigate store aisles, coolers, storerooms, and other confined spaces. Its lightweight design minimizes floor impact while improving maneuverability around customers and employees. The sled offers up to 1,200 lbs. capacity.

Matching Pallets

40 lightweight, narrow-footprint pallets stack tightly to save space in trailers and reduce the strain on drivers managing empty pallets.

The combo Route Runner equips drivers with the right solution for each task, with the flexibility to switch on demand. A durable walkie handles rough terrain from liftgate to door, while a lightweight, motorized sled easily separates to navigate tight indoor spaces and protect facility floors.

This compact configuration produces real, measurable operational benefits.
