ERC045VG Yale electric forklift specs & dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Yale ERC-VG

Yale ERC-VG electric trucks are available in 4,500 - 7,000 pound capacities designed for demanding applications that require clean, quiet-running, heavy duty capability. These trucks are extremely maneuverable and offer plenty of power and high stacking ability, while also offering excellent ergonomics, reliability and maintenance ease.

AC Transistor Traction Control

AC technology offers smooth acceleration and directional changes, proportional regenerative braking and the Auto Deceleration System. The controller converts battery power to three phase AC power, and adjusts frequency and current to meet performance demands. Performance control settings and extensive diagnostics are accessible by technicians through the display or a PC. A Vehicle Systems Manager utilizing CANbus technology monitors and controls key truck components and systems. The advanced thermal management system monitors component temperature and gradually adjusts performance to prevent damage to key components.

Power-assist braking

Power-assist braking is accomplished via the VSM. The VSM monitors brake line pressure. When this pressure exceeds a set threshold the VSM sends a signal to the traction controller to decelerate the traction motor proportionally to the brake pressure. The higher the brake pedal pressure being applied, the more quickly the truck will decelerate. Duo-servo hydraulic brakes are self-adjusting and self-energizing for reduced pedal effort. The master cylinder is sealed and has an external fluid level sensor connected to a warning indicator on the display. A foot applied/hand-released parking brake is manually adjustable and has an audible warning if the operator leaves the truck without applying the brake. The standard Auto Deceleration System automatically slows the truck when the operator’s foot is removed from the accelerator pedal, extending brake life.

Voltage

36, 48, and 80-volt systems are available in multiple battery compartment sizes to meet a variety of application requirements. The optional Premium Performance Package (48v / 80v) provides up to a 12% improvement in traction performance and 10% increase in hydraulic performance over the standard configuration. An operator presence system reduces the possibility of inadvertent truck movement.

Foot Directional Control Pedal

The optional foot directional control pedal is a highly productive directional/accelerator pedal. One pedal allows the operator to change direction and acceleration reducing operator fatigue and resulting in increased productivity. Yale offers the foot directional control pedal as a no charge option.

Hydrostatic Power Steering

Hydrostatic power steering is standard and the all-hydraulic design gives precise, reliable control while eliminating mechanical linkages and road shocks at the steering wheel. An infinitely adjustable tilt steering column provides excellent operator comfort and visibility.

Frame

The frame is a unitized construction, stress tested for durability. An integral step on both sides of the truck is provided for easy entry and exit. The truck has a two-piece floor plate that can be easily lifted out for service access. An easily removable counterweight top cover gives easy access to components. A stamped steel, gas spring-assisted battery cover allows easy changing of the battery. The battery compartment can be fitted with rollers.

Hydraulic Components

The hydraulic pump motor is powered by a transistor controller. A flexible coupling joins a brushless, AC induction motor to the pump for long drive life and low noise. The motor and pump are mounted on rubber isolators for reduced noise and vibration. A combination of flexible wire-braid hoses and steel tubing is used to simplify the hydraulic plumbing. These hydraulic lines are carefully routed and held in place to reduce possible damage. A 10-micron full flow hydraulic filter located in the return line protects the hydraulic system from contaminants and helps provide long life. A bypass relief valve permits oil flow in the event of the filter clogging.

Steering Axle

The steering axle is a one-piece ductile iron casting mounted on elastic cushions that reduce shock and provide a softer ride. The Continuous Stability System (CSS™) enhances truck stability in a simple, maintenance free design, without compromising uneven surface travel.

Operator Interface Display

The repositioned display is conveniently located in the upper right area of the operator’s compartment. The LCD display includes an hour meter, battery discharge indicator with lift interrupt, seat belt reminder and digital clock. Additional indicators are provided for travel direction, performance mode, brake fluid level, park brake and truck status. The display also permits access for service technicians to adjust performance control settings, allowing the truck to be customized to meet customer applications. Additionally, extensive diagnostics allow service technicians to quickly troubleshoot problems. Operator selectable performance modes are standard. Options for operator passwords and a pre-shift operator checklist are also available.
