Yale introduces counterbalanced truck with integrated lithium-ion battery
"Our aim at Yale is to develop industry-leading trucks that offer our customers excellent productivity, ergonomic design and low cost of ownership. The ERP70-90VNL is the first in a new range of high performance electric trucks for demanding applications," says Ivor Wilkinson, Solutions Manager at Yale.
The truck can be used in three-shift operation thanks to its fast intermediate charging capability. The truck can be recharged during regular work breaks, eliminating the need to change the battery. To maximize the efficiency of the application, the charging infrastructure can be installed near break rooms. The battery can be recharged from a fully discharged state in just 80 minutes.
"Customers who work in multi-shift operations will find that the purchase costs for forklifts with lithium-ion batteries pay for themselves in less than two years. This makes the truck a viable option for customers for whom low running costs are important," says Wilkinson.
"We have a wide range of attachments for the ERP70-90VNL that enable it to transport bricks and building blocks, engineered timber, building materials and metals," explains Wilkinson.
The Yale Continuous Stability Enhancement enables the ERP70-90VNL counterbalance truck to travel over uneven surfaces and assists the transition between indoor and outdoor use. The mast design allows the operator to see through the mast. "The lift and drive systems are completely independent of each other, so there is no loss of performance when lifting and moving loads at the same time," says Wilkinson.
"For customers looking for sustainable options for their fleet, the ERP70-90VNL is a good choice in terms of performance, comfort, running costs and zero emissions. In these industries, battery-powered equipment may never have been considered before because of the perception that it could not deliver high productivity. However, the ERP70-90VNL can even work in three shifts without losing productivity thanks to the possibility of intermediate charging. Customers can rely on this truck - even in the most demanding applications," concludes Wilkinson.
