Designed for comfortOperator comfort enhances productivity and reduces fatigue. With maximized visibility,smooth, precise mast positioning, low-effort steering, and “human-engineered”operating controls, everything about these trucks makes them easy to operate.Built to be operator friendlyThe “operator’s truck” – The Yale ERC-VG truck features large, texturedgrab handles, deep, anti-skid steps for easy entry and exit, thumb-actuateddirectional controls, seat-side power disconnect, spacious, easy-to-reachstorage areas on the cowl, and a tilt steering column for reduced operatorfatigue. The operator convenience station provides an industry-leadingdash storage area for almost anything an operator needs. Optional keyswitch controlled lights turn work and taillights on and off with the keyswitch, and turn rear work lights on automatically when the truck travels inreverse, eliminating the need for the operator to control them manually.Open floor plate design – The ERC-VG series’ open floor plate designmaximizes the available space for the driver’s feet, providing up to 20% greaterfloor space. Power-assist braking reduces brake pedal effort. Placement andangles of accelerator and brake pedal provide maximum operator comfort.The extra-thick floor mat absorbs shock and reduces operator fatigue.Customizable operator compartment – The operator’s seat isprecisely positioned to provide a more comfortable, efficient operatorposition, enhancing visibility through the mast, resulting in less operatorfatigue. The standard steering column is infinitely adjustable. theoptional telescoping steer column with tilt memory provides superioradjustability to accommodate a wide range of operator sizes.Rear driving comfort has been enhanced with a convenient optional reardrive handle with horn button. The rear drive handle, in conjunction withthe optional swivel seat, creates a comfortable, secure reverse drivingposition. Non-cinch seat belts provide superior operator comfort.An optional auxiliary DC converter provides an automotive style 12-voltoutlet in the operator convenience station and an auxiliary powertap under the floorplate for customer installed accessories.Hydraulic controls – Choose from two configurations that employ seatsidemechanical levers or optional Accutouch mini-levers to provide unsurpassed, loweffort, tactile control of all hydraulic functions. Choose from the ergonomicallyplaced thumb actuated seatside directional control or the Yale exclusive FootDirectional Control (at no extra charge) for quicker, smoother control of travelspeed and direction, improving operator efficiency and bolstering productivity.

Ultimate productivityPerformance and productivity are standard equipment on every Yale truck. With theERC-VG series, increased productivity and cost savings are achieved through lowertruck operating expenses, reduced maintenance costs, extended maintenance intervals,and increased throughput.Available in 36, 48 and 80 volts, ERC-VG trucks are designed to meet and exceed yourapplication requirements. All models come standard with cool running, low maintenanceAC traction and hydraulic motors.Comfort aidsproductivityOperator comfort is enhanced on theERC-VG truck with increased floor space,improved operator seat position, and noncinching seat belt. Reverse driving is madeeasier with the rear drive handle. The optionalautomatic park brake automatically appliesthe park brake when the truck is stationaryand releases the park brake when theaccelerator pedal is depressed.Continuous StabilitySystem (CSS )The CSS enhances truck stability in asimple, maintenance-free design, withoutcompromising travel across uneven surfaces.

Performance modesFour operator selectable performancemodes and the innovative Extended Shiftfeature allow the truck’s performance tobe tailored to the customer’s applicationas well as the operator’s skill level,increasing efficiency.AC technologyThe ERC-VG series utilizes proven ACtechnology coupled with the IntellixVSM, providing enhanced performancethroughout the usable battery dischargecycle. This highly efficient system alsoprovides longer battery run time forincreased throughput.AC transistor hydrauliccontrol enables preciseload handling with greaterefficiency and less noise.AC motors provide powerfulacceleration, fast travel speeds (bothwith and without a load), and fast lift/lower speeds. The innovative thermalmanagement system keeps productivityhigh while protecting key truckcomponents.The optional Premium PerformancePackage (48v / 80v) provides upto a 12% improvement in tractionperformance and 10% increase inhydraulic performance over the standardconfiguration. This package provides anexcellent alternative to replace ICE unitsin certain applications, providing ICEperformance without the emissions.Longer battery run time-WHEEL4ELECTRICERC-VGSIT-DOWNPNEUMATIC

kW-hr / hrLowest eERC-VGMajorMajorCompetitor 1 Competitor 2According to the VDI Energy Cycle Standardized Test, the E45-70XN series provides thelowest energy consumption; it’s also 10% more energy efficient than our previous model.Better energy utilization saves money and reduces impact on the environment.Low cost of operationThe purchase price of a truck is only a small part of its overall cost. A lift truck’s cost of ownership isthe largest portion of dollars spent and includes such elements as periodic maintenance, unscheduledrepairs, brakes and power costs. Yale engineers focused on operating cost savings with reducedmaintenance requirements, superior serviceability, enhanced durability, and extended service intervals.HydraulicsAuto Deceleration SystemERC-VG trucks provide tremendousflexibility to customize the truck’s hydraulicand traction performance to the application.Whether you require extended battery shiftlife, aggressive hydraulic performance orfast travel speeds for long hauls across afactory floor, your trained Yale techniciancan maximize your truck’s performance.The Auto Deceleration System automatically slowsthe truck when the operator’s foot is removedfrom the accelerator, reducing brake usage andassociated brake maintenance requirements.AC traction and hydraulic motors completelyeliminate brushes and associated rigging,reducing maintenance costs. The systemis further simplified by combining thehydraulic and steering functions intoone pump and motor assembly.Power-assist braking further increases brake anddrive train life by automatically utilizing tractionmotor braking in proportion to operator brake pedalpressure, reducing the demand on the servicebrakes. The rugged drum-type brakes featurestrengthened “backing plates” for excellent durability.

Canted load rollers absorb front to back and sideto side forces for better durability and reducedadjustments.
