New Yale® lithium-ion lift trucks optimise flexibility for indoor and outdoor operations

Yale Lift Truck Technologies has unveiled the new ERP4.0-7.0MXLG series - simple and robust 4- to 7-tonne capacity electric lift trucks, engineered for flexible and efficient use both inside and outside. The new forklifts feature integrated lithium-ion battery technology, providing warehouses with benefits in sustainability, uptime, and operator comfort.

“Versatility is key for warehouses to stay competitive and productive,” explains Robert O’Donoghue, VP Marketing, EMEA for Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “Many operations need ways to efficiently and affordably take on a variety of indoor and outdoor tasks. The new Yale® MXLG large tyre lift trucks offer a general-purpose solution, with smart flexibility built in.”

“From lithium-ion batteries that can be opportunity charged, through to a compact design for efficient manoeuvring, and a permanent magnet drive motor that’s ideal for frequent starts and stops,” Robert continues.

Lift truck operator productivity is also at the core of the Yale ERP4.0-7.0MXLG design. The new electric forklifts offer a range of features that leverage comfort, control, and flexibility. Ergonomic cabin options are available to suit all weather conditions, helping operators stay focused and comfortable in both internal and external storage areas. Large Superelastic tyres and high ground clearance deliver a smooth ride over rough surfaces, helping reduce fatigue and support operator confidence in outdoor environments.

The trucks also contribute to a quieter, cleaner workspace in the warehouse. With no gases produced during use or battery changing, and reduced noise levels compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) alternatives, the MXLG lift trucks help create a pleasant working environment. This benefits operators while also supporting warehouses in managing environmental impact and emissions.

Integrated lithium-ion battery technology further enhances efficiency by helping reduce downtime and simplifying energy management. The batteries can be charged quickly during breaks and wherever a charging point is available, eliminating the need for dedicated charging areas. The smart forklifts are also designed to enable lower energy consumption while maintaining good controllability.

Alongside operational flexibility, the lithium-ion batteries offer long term electrification advantages. They require minimal maintenance, helping reduce service-related downtime and costs. With a long cycle life compared to traditional lead acid batteries and a 5 year / 7,500-hour battery warranty, the batteries are expected to carry 70% of their rated capacity.*

The new Yale ERP4.0-7.0MXLG electric lift trucks join the already popular ERP20-35MXLG models, delivering the same simple, flexible, and durable performance alongside a low Total Cost of Ownership. The new MXLG models are available from and supported by a reliable network of independent Yale dealers.
