Built for demanding indoor performance
The ERC-VG2 is built to deliver the speed and efficiency required in demanding warehouse operations.
- Fast lift and lower speeds help operators move more loads per shift, with speeds up to 65% faster than leading competitors.
- Efficient hydraulics and energy management help deliver dependable performance while using less energy, with up to 20% lower energy consumption than the previous generation ERC-VG series.
- Near-zero turning radius helps operators navigate tight warehouse spaces efficiently.
When uptime matters, maintenance shouldn’t hold you back. The ERC-VG2 series is engineered to make service faster, simpler and more predictable.
- Enhanced steer axle makes tire changes faster and easier, helping trucks get back into operation sooner.
- Sealed wet-brake axles, accessible service points and hydraulic diagnostics help reduce routine maintenance demands, simplify troubleshooting and minimize downtime.
- Standard Yale Vision telemetry tracks periodic maintenance, detects impacts and triggers fault codes to identify issues sooner and give fleet managers greater visibility into truck condition and service needs.
The ERC-VG2 series gives you the flexibility to choose the battery and voltage that best fit your operation.
- Flexible battery choices include lead-acid, thin plate pure lead (TPPL) and lithium-ion, with factory-integrated battery options specifically engineered for Yale® lift trucks to simplify compatibility, charging and support.
- Multiple voltage options make it easier to deliver dependable performance to support your application and duty cycle
The ERC-VG2 series is designed to give operators a clearer view of the load, rack and surroundings, helping them navigate tight spaces and position loads with greater precision.
- Through-the-mast visibility is enhanced by a through-mast window that is the largest in its class — a full 34% larger than the previous generation ERC-VG series.
- Clear sightlines give operators better visibility while maneuvering and stacking, helping them position loads with greater confidence.
The ERC-VG2 series comes equipped standard with value-focused features designed to support productivity, uptime and total cost of ownership while still giving you the freedom to configure your truck to your operation.
- Simplified service with wet disc brakes, an enhanced steer axle for faster tire changes, and over‑the‑air telemetry diagnostics to reduce maintenance time and complexity.
- Operator‑centric technology includes a full‑color touch display, integrated telemetry, automotive‑style key switch, and multiple hydraulic control options. These features reduce fatigue, improve usability, and provide real‑time performance insights.
- Choice of Intelimatch™ dual-drive or Duramatch™ permanent magnet motor configurations gives you the flexibility to optimize your truck to match everyday operations or more demanding, multi-shift applications.
