Heavy-duty compact electric counterbalance

Yale electric lift trucks must pass the same demanding 15-day environment test as ICE trucks, handling freezing temperatures, blistering heat, 30% grades and more. The VH is ready for loads up to 12,00 pounds in the most demanding conditions.

• ICE-like drive axle assemblly is designed with a cast ductile iron housing and full floating axle to withstand heavy loads
• Hydraulic components are industrial grade, including O-ring face seal fittings, hydraulic valves, fine micron filters and long-lasting hoist and tilt cylinders
• Mast channels built with one-piece, high-strength rolled steel
• CanBus electrical system offers strong performance and reduced wiring and electrical connections for improved reliability and excellent serviceability.

Operator comfort enhances productivity and reduces fatigue. The VH prioritizes visibility, smooth, precise mast positioning, low-effort steering and human-engineerred controls to keep operators going strong, all shift long.

• Large, textured grab handles and deep, anti-skid steps for easy entry and exit
• Comfort-optimized seats, with no-cinch ELR seat belts and six inches of fore/aft adjustment with 13 latching position
• Infinitely adjustable standard steering column through 26-degree range
• Rear drive handle with horn button
• Accutouch minilever electrohydraulic controls (optional) offer shorter reach and throw, and considerably less effort required to operate versus mechanical levers
• Open floor plate design offers up to 11% more floor space
• Power-assisted braking reduces pedal effort, with ergonomic layout for greater comfort.

The VH uses proven AC technology coupled with the "Intellix VSM (vehicle systems manager) to provide enhanced performance through the usable battery discharge cycle.

• Selectable performance modes allow truck performance to be tailored to real-time conditions and operator skill
• AC motors provide powerful acceleration, fast travel speeds and fast lift and lower speeds
• Thermal management system enables high productivity while protecting key truck components.

The largest share of money spent on a lift truck comes from operating costs, thrusting maintenance requirements, ease of service, durability and power costs front and center.

• AC traction and hydraulic motors completely eliminate brushes and rigging, reducing maintenance requirements and cost
• Disc brake system only requires periodic lubrication change at 4,000 hour intervals and automatically uses traction motor braking to reduce burden on service brakes
• Easy component access, including easily-removable floor plates and a rear-hinged hood that opens nearly 80 degrees.
