Counterbalanced Trucks: The rider or sit down truck also goes by the name counterbalanced truck. It is available in both ICE and electric units. This truck is mainly utilized inside warehouses and is available with lifting capacities in the 2500 to 12,000 pound range. Counterbalanced trucks can lift loads to heights of more than 20 feet, depending on the truck's model and weight.

Among the biggest volume producers of zero emissions electric forklifts is Yale in the North American market. Yale is among the first adopters of energy efficient AC motor and control technology. The company's continued pursuit of improved energy efficiency is affirmed by competitive testing. This testing proves that the company's 5000 pound electric rider product offers the best energy used per load transported or overall energy efficiency of any lift truck in its class in North America.

Yale has introduced spark-ignited models that already meet or exceed all regulatory demands. Based on the CEPA and EPA testing reviews, Yale forklifts are rated among the lowest in exhaust emissions in the business. Their diesels are becoming cleaner all the time as a result of ongoing development with diesel engine suppliers so as to meet Tier III standards. These equipment proactively meet upcoming Tier IV standards as well.

The IC products by the company have been engineered for extended service intervals to help decrease oil consumption of this nonrenewable energy source.

To greatly lessen brake and tire wear on all Yale ICE forklifts, the company has produced and developed an innovative and electronically controlled transmission. In regard to their electric trucks, the company has introduced a system which recaptures energy into the truck during the lowering of loads and during braking. This energy is then reused, lowering the truck's overall energy consumption. The company takes pride in lessening use of non-productive energy throughout the vehicle by means of hydraulic system efficiency, weight reduction and drive train components, patent pending.
