Counterbalanced Trucks: The rider or sit down truck is also called counterbalanced truck. It is available in both electric and ICE models. This truck is mostly used inside warehouses and is available with lifting capacities in the 2500 to 12,000 lb. range. Counterbalanced trucks are able to lift cargo to heights of over 20 feet, depending on the truck's weight and model.
Amongst the largest volume producers of zero emissions electric forklifts is Yale within the North American market. Yale is one of the first adopters of 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 transported or overall energy efficiency of any lift truck in its class in North America.
The company has introduced spark-ignited units which already meet or exceed all regulatory demands. Based on the CEPA and EPA testing reviews, Yale forklifts are rated among the lowest in exhaust emissions within the industry. Their diesels are becoming cleaner all the time as a result of ongoing development with diesel engine suppliers so as to meet Tier III standards. These equipment proactively meet upcoming Tier IV standards as well.
The company has also engineered their Internal Combustion products for extended service intervals in order to reduce changes in oil and lessening consumption of this nonrenewable energy source for their clients.
To really decrease brake and tire wear on all Yale ICE forklifts, the company has developed and produced an electronically controlled and innovative transmission. When it comes to their electric trucks, Yale has introduced a system which recaptures energy into the truck during the lowering of loads and during braking. This energy is then used once more, lowering the truck's overall energy consumption. The company takes pride in reducing non-productive energy use throughout the vehicle by means of weight reduction, hydraulic system efficiency and drive train components, patent pending.
