The new 8-16 tonne trucks from Yale is said to offer an evolution in both operator efficiency and truck performance to deliver maximum productivity.
Rising costs of fuel and the demands of customers for increased efficiency led to the launch of the heavy duty, diesel engine forklift truck series. Designed to use less fuel and be more productive than the previous series, the GDP80-120DC and GDP130-160EC benefit from the advances originally introduced in the company’s Veracitor VX series, specifically in the areas of powertrain and hydraulic configurations. With longer servicing intervals, increased uptime and reduced servicing costs, the DC and EC series of 8-16T trucks offer lower lifetime cost of ownership and greater productivity. Available in two configurations both use a high performance 116kW (155hp) @2300rpm diesel engine combining durability over longer periods of peak operation with excellent acceleration and hauling power.
Fuel savings of up to five per cent are achieved through the Load Sensing Hydraulics system, which uses variable displacement hydraulic pumps to sense demand and deliver the exact amount of hydraulic oil required to meet the demands of the application.
