To support logistics operations, a new high-capacity electric lift truck with ICE-like capability is now available from Yale Lift Truck Technologies. The new Yale ERP100-160DF-EF electric forklift is a testament to the Yale commitment to innovation and customer-driven design. The integrated, configurable lithium-ion battery powers the high-capacity electric forklift to ICE-like levels of capability, delivering a sustainable alternative to internal combustion engine trucks. With zero tailpipe emissions, warehouses can achieve a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) and contribute to sustainability targets, without compromising on performance.

Efficiency redefined
The Yale ERP100-160DF-EF lithium-ion lift truck is designed to maximise efficiency and minimise downtime. With advanced battery electric forklift technology, this new solution requires zero battery maintenance and supports fast charging, empowering warehouses to excel through intense duty cycles. With powerful performance and lift capacity up to 16 tonnes, 3PL and logistics applications can handle tasks with ease, all while reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

Ergonomics and operator comfort
Keeping operators focused and comfortable enables warehouses to realise optimal levels of efficiency. The ERP100-160DF-EF features an ergonomic design that prioritises the operator experience. From improved visibility to intuitive controls, reduced vibrations to quieter acoustic operation, this electric Yale forklift is engineered to help reduce fatigue and contribute to a productive logistics working environment, including during outdoor operations.

Innovative technology
As a leader in electric lift truck technology, Yale continuously develops solutions based on customer needs.
The Yale ERP100-160DF-EF electric forklift provides instant torque and is designed to support operators with high controllability. This 10-16 tonne lift capacity electric forklift is also designed and constructed with materials that will last the economic life of the product. Plus, all connections when correctly installed and maintained provide an IP65 rating (moisture and dust). This supports efficiency use in outdoor logistics loading/unloading or storage areas.

This smart design not only improves operational efficiency but enables businesses to access long-term value. With lower maintenance and operating costs due to the benefits of the electric powertrain, many logistics applications will achieve a lower total cost of ownership, alongside the sustainability advantages of zero tailpipe emissions.

Customer-centric solutions
Yale technology and product development is deeply rooted in understanding and addressing customer needs. This forklift solution is tailored to meet the unique challenges of modern intralogistics. A modular approach with configurable onboard energy scales to the specific needs of high intensity logistics operations, while retaining high levels of commonality to the Yale diesel forklifts that businesses and operators will be familiar with.

These high-capacity electric forklifts incorporate CCS (Combined Charging System) charging as a standard, which is widely used for other electric equipment that may be found in logistics environments. Leveraging this technology for forklifts helps make the migration to electric fleets more seamless and cost effective.
