Helmut Reiter and Ziegler Gabelstapler have added new Yale trucks

Yale dealers Helmut Reiter and Ziegler Gabelstapler recently expanded their rental fleet to include the highest capacity Yale truck to date. Reiter, operating in Essen, and Gabelstapler, in Augsburg, are among the first dealers to take delivery of the Yale GDP160EC12.

Building on the well-established 13-16 T Yale EC Series, the GDP160EC12 is capable of lifting 16 T at a 1,200 mm load centre, allowing cumbersome and odd-sized loads to be carried more effectively. Designed with intensive work cycles, multi-load handling and use with heavy attachments in mind, the EC Series is particularly suited to timber, steel, brick and block, and pre-stressed concrete applications.

The GDP160EC12 also benefits from the latest operator visibility updates, including a large curved front window and wide rear window to help optimise operator ergonomics.

"From its superior cooling properties to its excellent manoeuvrability, every element of the GDP160EC12 has been carefully considered to ensure the truck delivers maximum dependability even in the most challenging of operations," says Oliver Hoffmann, Big Truck territory manager at Yale.

The expansion of both dealers' short-term rental options gives local customers even greater choice, taking the Ziegler Gabelstapler rental fleet to over 300 units and the fleet at Helmut Reiter to over 1,500 units.

"Yale dealers recognise that leasing or buying equipment is not always a practical option for operations, and sudden peaks in workload, seasonal increases in demand, unforeseen technical issues, or highly specific requests often leave customers requiring short-term rental solutions. The Yale dealer network consistently provides a wide range of high quality and reliable materials handling solutions to help operations remain flexible and productive," adds Hoffman.
