Yale Lift Truck Technologies has released its UX series of counterbalance forklifts with new lithium-ion power options, available in the four-wheel ERP15-35UXL series and the three-wheel ERP16-20UXTL series.

The UXL models have travel speeds up to 16 km/h, lift capacities up to 3.6 T and can reach up to 6 m, combining technology and practicality with their compact design and manoeuvrability, enabling them to navigate narrow aisles.

The UXL models have zero exhaust emissions and come with a five-year or 7,500-hour warranty on the lithium-ion batteries.

The flexible battery box design also allows for potential future conversion to lead-acid power if required.

Yale Lift Truck Technologies vice president of marketing Robert O’Donoghue claims the new UXL series helps businesses reduce costs while benefiting from zero-emission technology.

“With efficiency key to any intralogistics operation, the ability to take advantage of opportunity charging means the UXL series can be ready to go at any time,” O’Donoghue continues. “When not in use, users can expect a fast, full charge in about two-and-a-half hours on most models.”

The Yale ERP15-35UXL and ERP16-20UXTL models are available now from Yale dealers across Europe, Middle East, and Africa.

It is the first product release for Yale Lift Truck Technologies since it launched the re-brand at ProMat in 2023. In 2021, Yale expanded its UX forklift series to include the GPD5070UX6 range of 5-7 T forklifts.
