Yale and Hyster launch new stand-up trucks
Greenville, NC, United StatesYale Material Handling Corp has launched the ESC030-040AC series of electric stand-up forklifts.

"The dependability it provides is a great match for dock and drive-in or drive-through rack applications," says Lou Micheletto, warehouse products manager.
The three-wheel forklifts with lifting capacities of 3,000-4,000lbs (1,361-1,814kg) are targeted at the retail distribution, food production and processing, general warehousing and freight transportation industries.
