New Yale electric counterbalances December 2nd 2008 Yale has launched new 1.5t 2t three and four wheel electric counterbalances offering either 8 per cent more productivity or 16 per cent energy savings. The firm will roll out the range up to 5t in the next 18 months.
The VT (three wheel) and VF (four wheel) series allow users to determine the 'e-balance' of performance and energy consumption by selecting either the 'eLo' (Energy Saving) or 'HiP' (High Performance) setting for their specific application.
Short, medium and long wheelbase chassis accommodate a range of 48Volt DIN battery capacities from 460 - 750Ah and BS battery capacities from 595 - 900Ah all with side extraction option.
Yale says it has invested years refining the range's ergonomics, so that all drivers - from the fifth percentile 1.6m tall Asian female to the 95th percentile 1.94m tall Nordic male are accommodated.
