ERP030VF Yale electric forklift specs & dimensions (2021 - 2026)

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 hood allows easy changing of the battery.

Automatic Park Brake

The ERP-VF features an Automatic Park Brake that is applied by a spring when the truck is stationary. Upon sensing a demand at the accelerator pedal, the brake is released and held “off” via an electrical solenoid within the park brake assembly. A manual override lever (located underneath the floor plate) is provided to disengage the brake if the truck has to be moved during service conditions in the absence of power on the truck.

Wet Disc Brakes

The brake system features standard oil cooled wet disc brakes which are mounted inside the drive unit assemblies, protecting them against dirt and moisture. These low pedal effort brakes require no adjustments and very little maintenance, yet provide long service life.

Power Assisted Braking

Power Assisted 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. The master cylinder is sealed and has an external fluid level sensor connected to an LCD icon/indicator on the instrument module. The standard Auto Deceleration System automatically slows the truck when the operator’s foot is removed from the accelerator pedal, extending brake life.

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.

Additional Features

Additional features on the ERP-VF include an overhead guard, 42" forks, non-suspension seat, seat belt and an operator sensing switch. An infinitely adjustable tilt steering column, rubber floor mat, and electric horn are also standard.

Trunnion Mounts and Carriage Features

The standard Class II carriage features pre-lubed and sealed full radius, angled load rollers that resist forward, backward, and lateral forces. Forks are "upset forged" from a single piece of high strength steel to give strength and added thickness for wear. A 48" load backrest extension is standard. An optional integral sideshifter is available on the ERP-VF. Various internal and external auxiliary function hose groups are available.

Hydraulic Components

A transistor control hydraulic system is powered by a brushless, AC induction motor with coupling. 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 by-pass valve diverts the oil 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 enhances truck stability in a simple, maintenance free design, without compromising uneven surface travel. "Zero Turn Radius" steer axle design allows for increased maneuverability.

Dual Drive Motors

Left hand and right hand AC Drive motors are individually mounted for easy servicing. The outer end of each motor drives a wheel through a planetary gear transmission. The transmissions use helical gears with tooth geometry that is optimized to minimize gear noise. Each drive motor is individually controlled allowing for a “zero inside turning radius” scenario that provides excellent maneuverability.
