A new high-capacity forklift joins the Yale family

Yale Materials Handling Corporation announces a new addition to its high-capacity range of lift trucks, specifically designed to maximize maneuverability in dense storage configurations.

Not all operations require the same lift truck. But the expectation of a trust-worthy, ready-to-go truck remains the same. Available in 15,500 and 17,000-pound capacities, the Yale GP155-170SVX ICE pneumatic tire forklift offers a shorter counterweight, turn assist system, optimized forward visibility and a rearview display to optimize control in confined, congested spaces.

  • Shorter counterweight: A shortened counterweight design enables a more compact truck, reducing overall length by up to 12.8 inches, to help improve maneuverability through tight spaces while maintaining residual capacity
  • Turn Assist System: At maximum steering angles, turn assist applies the brake to the inside drive tire for a tighter turning radius regardless of load weight or road surface conditions
  • New standard mast design: Provides operators with a significant front field of view, helping optimize visibility of forks and load
  • Rearview display: Optional rear-facing camera with LCD display offers a 118-degree range of vision to help operators monitor the rear of the truck while maneuvering and changing directions

John Santiago, Director, Counterbalance Product Planning and Solutions, Yale Materials Handling Corporation, strongly belives in this machine: 

“The commercial rise real estate costs make expansion and new construction prohibitively expensive. However we want to find effective solution to get the storage capacity they need – optimizing existing space with an efficient, dense layout – and this truck equips operators for success in those environments, with the best maneuverability among class leaders.”
