ERC045-070VG | Alta Material Handling

ERC-VG electric trucks are designed for demanding indoor applications that require clean, quiet-running, heavy duty capability. These trucks offer plenty of power and high stacking ability, along with excellent ergonomics, reliability and maintenance ease.

  • Industrial-grade components
  • Designed for comfort
  • Application-matched performance
  • Less maintenance, easy service

Application-matched performance

From tough, short shuttle applications to long runs and ramp usage, the ERC-VG is built for varied applications.

  • Cool running, low maintenance AC technology provides enhanced performance and longer battery run time
  • Selectable performance modes allow truck performance to be tailored to real-time conditions and operator skill
  • Extended Shift functionality provides an excellent balance between battery run time and truck productivity
  • Return-to-set-tilt option brings the forks to a preset position when tilting for easy operation
  • Premium Permormance package (optional) provides up to a 12% increase in travel speed and lift speed

What’s more? Competitive testing shows that the ERC045-070VG electric rider product offers the best energy efficiency (energy used per load moved) of any lift truck in its class in North America.

Designed for comfort

The ERC-VG series is designed with a focus on human engineering, with a variety of operator-friendly features to minimize strain and fatigue, while maximizing productivity.

  • Customizable operator compartment allows precise positioning of the steering column and seat to optimize comfort and forward visibility through the mast
  • Open floor plate design offers up to 20% more floor space, while extra-thick floor mat absorbs shock
  • Power-assisted braking reduces pedal effort, with ergonomic layout for greater comfort
  • Large, textured grab handles
  • Deep, anti-skid steps enable easy entry, exit
  • Hydraulic controls are offered in two configurations to provide low-effort, tactile control of all hydraulic functions
  • Thumb actuated or foot directional control offer quicker, smoother control of travel speed and direction

Less maintenance, easy service

Ownership costs account for the largest portion of dollars spent on a lift truck, including periodic maintenance, repairs, power costs, brakes and other items. Yale engineers focused on reducing maintenance requirements, making service more efficient when it is necessary.

  • Easy component access, including easily-removable floor plates and a rear-hinged hood that opens nearly 80 degrees
  • Reduced regular service requirements due to AC traction and hydraulic motors with no brushes and single-contactor AC electrical system
  • Clearly numbered wires, sealed connectors and common-sense routing make service easy and efficient
  • Auto Deceleration System reduces demand on brakes, extending service life
  • Hydraulic and steering functions in a single pump and motor assembly limits items that require service

Industrial-grade components

Tough indoor applications require electric trucks that are up to the task. The Yale ERC-VG series is designed to get the job done, with industrial-grade components and smart engineering to provide productive value and long life.

  • CANbus technology reduces wiring and connections for greater reliability
  • Drive axle uses high-strength gears and shafts to resist stress from quick direction changes
  • Steer axles use tough cast ductile iron for one-piece integrity and durability to support the counterweight and handle road shocks and vibration
  • Welded steel frame offers rigidity and protection of internal components
  • Sealed electrical connections resist moisture and dirt
