5 Benefits the new Yale® electric forklift can bring to your logistics or warehouse operation

Discover how Yale's new electric forklift can revolutionize your warehouse operations with enhanced efficiency, safety, and sustainability!

Looking for ways to address rising costs, fulfil high demand, and meet sustainability goals? The new lithium-ion Yale® ERP2.0-3.5MXLG electric counterbalance forklift truck has been designed to offer versatility, flexibility, and a low cost of ownership.

Here are 5 ways the Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG can benefit your logistics or warehouse operation.

1. Lithium-ion forklifts can help to reduce your total cost of ownership

Lithium-ion electric lift trucks, like the Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG series, can help to minimise your capital investment. How? By reducing downtime and maintenance expenses associated with the regular tasks required by other electric forklift trucks. For example, lithium-ion batteries eliminate the need for engine servicing, battery maintenance and topping up, and battery exchange during the shift.  All this contributes towards a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). 

Did you know that lithium-ion charging is typically more efficient than charging lead acid batteries? That means more power for the same cost.

Compared with traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) trucks, the ERP2.0-3.5MXLG could also potentially cut energy costs by half. What’s more, the large, long-lasting lithium-ion battery options offer a five-year warranty.

2.  A comfortable lift truck cabin supports operator productivity

Operator comfort and well-being have been a priority in the Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG series’ design. The spacious cabin provides a comfortable working environment, indoors and outdoors, while the quiet electric operation minimises noise pollution.

Operators can also feel confident thanks to excellent through mast visibility which is up to 34% better than some leading competitors.

Reduced fatigue can help to improve operator productivity. The new Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG lift trucks are ergonomically designed to support this while its controls offer familiarity to operators already accustomed to driving Yale lift trucks, with the same controls and functions having been incorporated to help provide a smooth transition.3.  A flexible solution can help you manage and right-size your materials handling fleet

Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG lift trucks offer flexibility. They are not only exceptionally manoeuvrable for indoor operations but, thanks to the large superelastic pneumatic tires, they operate well outdoors too, in storage yards or loading bays, for example. This could help reduce the need for dedicated indoor and outdoor forklifts in your application. Further contributing to reduced costs and enhanced efficiency.

4. Meet operational demands with powerful battery performance

Designed to seamlessly integrate into fast-paced, multi-shift operations, the larger standard battery capacity in the Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG series provides extended run times and eliminates downtime for battery changes. Lithium-ion batteries enable opportunity charging during breaks or shift changes, allowing your business to improve uptime and efficiency. Furthermore, the powerful 154V battery option delivers performance comparable to traditional ICE trucks, providing exceptional travel and lift speeds for efficient handling of loads.

5. Achieve your sustainability goals with zero emissions

For operations championing environmental responsibility, the lithium-ion battery powered Yale ERP2.0-3.5MXLG lift trucks produce zero exhaust emissions, helping contribute to cleaner air quality, both indoors and outdoors. This is particularly beneficial in warehouses and distribution centres where employee health and environmental impact are key considerations.
