Yale Materials Handling Corporation (Booth 2644) introduced the ERC-VG, the next generation of electric rider trucks. These new energy-saving vehicles feature an operator's capsule that goes above and beyond intuitive design and spacious comfort.
Designed for a variety of applications, from short shuttles to long runs and ramp usage, the ERC-VG offers adjustable performance parameters that allow for customization to the specific needs of the application or the operator. The extended shift functionality provides an excellent balance between battery run time and truck productivity. Higher levels of productivity can be obtained with an optional premium performance package.
To meet heavy duty performance requirements, the trucks are built with industrial grade critical components that provide outstanding productive value and economic life. The new trucks are also designed with a focus on “human engineering” to minimize operator strain and fatigue. Controls are positioned for easy, intuitive operation. The floorboard is open and spacious. The steering wheel and operator's seat are offset to reduce fatigue and improve efficiency.
As one of the largest volume producers of zero emissions lift trucks in the North American market, the ERC-VG complements Yale’s existing line of lift trucks that improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption at its customers’ operations.
