Electric Forklifts Act like ICE

Yale Materials Handling Corporation’s ERP080-100VM sit-down, electric-powered, pneumatic tire lift truck series is available in 8,000, 9,000 and 10,000 pound models, and offers an environmentally friendly option for industries that have historically been powered by internal combustion engines (ICE). It is appropriate for indoor and outdoor applications that require high-lifting capacities while producing zero emissions. A standard 80-volt control system and extended shift feature permits balanced battery run time and truck productivity. The new platform utilizes AC transistor control technology that allows precise load handling with less noise, while the AC motors eliminate brushes completely—along with brush service and maintenance. Auto deceleration reduces brake wear and extends brake life by automatically slowing the truck through regenerative braking.
