Yale Lift Truck Technologies has announced the launch of two new integrated lithium-ion counterbalanced lift trucks, the three-wheel ERP32-40UXTL and the four-wheel ERP30-70UXL, as part of its UX product line.
“While warehouses have a long history of utilizing electric lift trucks, lead-acid battery power has typically been the default option for occasional to average duty cycle applications, where usage simply did not justify the investment in lithium-ion,” said John Santiago, director, counterbalance product planning and solutions, Yale.
“With these new UX models, Yale is making lithium-ion more accessible, and in doing so, delivering on our mission to engineer lift truck solutions that seamlessly integrate advanced technologies and address the demands of today’s warehouses.“
The lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for a battery changing room, can fully charge in about 2.5 hours and can be opportunity charged during operator breaks for equipment availability during shifts. Lithium-ion produces zero tailpipe emissions and provides consistent power delivery and requiring zero battery maintenance.

While some competitive offerings may rely on third-party battery suppliers, Yale and its dealer network provide service on the truck, battery and charger.
The two models are available with lift capacities in the 3,200- to 4,000-lb. and 3,000- to 7,000-lb. range, respectively. The trucks also offer a low step height, a small adjustable steering wheel and a wide view mast that supports visibility.
The Yale UX line initially launched in 2020, expanded in 2021 with the addition of electric walkie trucks and earlier in 2023 with multiple lead-acid battery-powered models.
