Counterbalanced Trucks: The rider truck is a sit down forklift known as a counterbalanced forklift. The counterbalance lift truck has been made in electric and internal combustion models. The lift truck is an important machinery in nearly all warehouse and distribution centers and are normally capable of lifting anywhere from 2500 to 12,000 pound range depending on the specific unit. Counterbalanced trucks can raise loads to as high as 20 feet, depending on the model and weight of truck.
Yale is one of North America's biggest manufacturers of zero emission electric lift truck and is one of the very first producers to adopt the energy efficient AC motor and control technology. Yale's continued pursuit of improved energy efficiency is affirmed by competitive testing. This testing proves that the company's 5000 lb. electric rider product offers the best energy utilized per load moved or overall energy efficiency of any lift truck in its class within North America.
Yale has introduced spark-ignited models that already meet or surpass all regulatory demands. Based on the CEPA and EPA testing reviews, Yale lift trucks are rated amongst the lowest in exhaust emissions within the business. Their diesels are becoming cleaner all the time because of ongoing development with diesel engine suppliers so as to meet Tier III standards. These machinery also proactively meet upcoming Tier IV standards.
The IC products by the company have been designed for extended service intervals to help decrease oil consumption of this nonrenewable energy source.
Yale has developed and introduced an electronically controlled and innovative transmission which greatly reduces tire and brake wear from their ICE forklift clients. In regard to their electric trucks, the company has introduced a system that recaptures energy into the truck during braking and during the lowering of loads. This energy is then used once more, lowering the overall energy consumption of the truck. The company takes pride in reducing non-productive energy use throughout the vehicle by means of hydraulic system efficiency, weight reduction and patent pending, drive train components.
