Yale Europe Materials Handling continues to expand its UX Series product range, with its offering for low intensity applications now featuring a 4-5t counterbalance truck. Ideal for industries with less frequent materials handling needs, the Yale® GDP40-50UX truck is a robust, reliable and durable forklift with a low total cost of ownership.
The latest addition to the Yale® UX Series has been designed to meet the demands of intermittent applications without compromising on the philosophy and quality behind all Yale products.
“No handling need is too small for the Yale UX Series. Whether it be in logistics operations, manufacturing or retail, the GDP40-50UX is a truck you can rely on to keep your operations moving smoothly,” said Eva Nachtergaele, Yale Solutions Manager EMEA.
Dependable and affordable
Yale has used high quality, robust components in the design of the GDP40-50UX truck to achieve excellent reliability. This is further enhanced through efficient filtration and cooling of the truck, resulting in lower wear and tear.
The simplicity of the truck’s components means it is also easily serviced and maintained at the site of operation, with just a limited toolset required.
Easy to operate
The ergonomically designed operator compartment features a familiar automotive layout for the driver, helping them to work comfortably and confidently. Excellent visibility of the load and the surrounding environment is key to efficient operations, which is achieved with a wide view mast. The GDP40-50UX’s high strength overhead guard enhances protection of the driver during operation.
Some applications may require a truck to operate in confined spaces; this is no issue for the new UX Series counterbalance truck, which is fitted with a small steering wheel that offers optimum manoeuvrability.
A productive environment
The spacious footwell and control pedals with extra foot space within the new UX Series counterbalance truck reduces operator fatigue, while a full suspension seat also contributes to a productive working environment.
The truck is built to suit a variety of operators, from the low step height enabling easy access to the cab at all times to the adjustable steering wheel with eight degrees of tilt.
“Even in the shortest of operations, we believe all trucks should offer high levels of comfort, efficiency and productivity. The GDP40-50UX is an exciting addition to our range for low intensity applications, and offers a high quality, affordable solution that can respond to less demanding materials handling needs,” added Eva.
