Yale cushion tyres take forklifts to new heights

- Published: 16 October, 2009

Forklift truck company Yale has launched the VG cushion tyre series, which is available in lifting capacities from 2,200kg to 3,500kg. The VG series is a cushion tyre truck generally used in internal applications where space to manoeuvre is at a premium.

The VG includes Yale's e-balance technology, enabling the operator to choose between two settings: 'HiP' (a high productivity setting) and 'eLo' (an energy-saving setting.

Optimised in HiP mode, the truck delivers high acceleration for the most demanding productivity applications. The eLo setting is said to provide exceptional energy efficiency, enabling the forklift truck to operate for longer periods between battery charges.
