As one of the largest volume producers of zero-emissions electric lift trucks in the North American market, Yale provides energy-efficient electric lift trucks and ICE trucks that have the capacity to operate on alternative fuel sources. Starting from the design stage, Yale® lift trucks are built with recyclability in mind. In electric lift trucks, energy consumption is drastically reduced due to efficient AC motor and control technologies paired with the ability to recapture energy while braking and lowering loads, allowing for energy reuse.
