Yale Lift Truck Technologies has been announced as a Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics magazine in the US for the 13th year running. This year’s award recognises the company for bringing the benefits of lithium-ion powered lift trucks to a broader range of operations
The two newest models in the company’s UX lift truck line, the three-wheel ERP32-40UXTL (known as the ERP16-20UXT(L) in EMEA) and the four-wheel ERP30-70UXL (known as the ERP15-35UX(L) in EMEA), are lithium-ion counterbalanced lift trucks. They have been engineered for retail stores, warehouses and DIY stores where occasional to average duty cycle applications are the norm. These value-driven lift trucks provide businesses that might not previously have been able to justify the investment in lithium-ion with an approachable alternative to lift trucks powered by lead-acid batteries.
Warehouses that use electric lift trucks understand the advantages of lithium-ion batteries but, because of the investment involved, some operations with lighter runtimes considered them out of reach. Yale has continually expanded the UX line to make this technology more accessible. By having a budget-friendly option to incorporate lithium-ion lift trucks into their operation, warehouses can make real progress toward their sustainability goals and maximise productivity with faster charging times and less maintenance.
Lithium-ion batteries generate zero harmful emissions and can last over four times longer than a lead-acid battery, helping reduce recycling waste. Both the ERP16-20UXT(L) and the ERP15-35UX(L) are simple, affordable, adaptable lift trucks for both indoor and outdoor operations. The integrated lithium-ion batteries are available in different sizes and charge rates that can be scaled to fit the requirements of particular operations.
