Our Range of Yale Forklifts

Voss Equipment offers a broad catalog of Yale forklift types so operations of all sizes can equip their teams effectively. 

Electric and Internal Combustion Counterbalance Forklifts 

These are the most widely used Yale forklifts and offer: 

• Strong load-handling capability 
• Tight maneuverability in warehouse aisles 
• Smooth, predictable operation 
• Options for indoor or outdoor work 

Electric models are ideal for indoor facilities seeking low emissions and quiet operation, while IC models provide additional power for heavier loads and mixed environments. 

Narrow-Aisle and Warehouse Lift Trucks 

In facilities where storage density is critical, narrow aisle Yale forklifts help maximize space while maintaining safe load handling. These trucks offer: 

• Compact dimensions 
• Precise navigation between racks 
• Efficient lifting and stacking capabilities 

Warehouses and distribution centers often rely on these trucks to improve pick rates and material flow. 

Order Pickers and Pallet Movers 

Yale produces a variety of trucks designed for fast, efficient warehouse movement, including: 

• Order pickers for high-level picking tasks 
• Pallet trucks for quick transport of goods 
• Models built for easy maneuverability in active warehouse environments 

These units are an essential part of operations that require speed, accuracy, and consistent workflow. 

High-Capacity and Heavy-Duty Forklifts 

For industrial applications and heavier materials, Yale offers higher-capacity lift trucks capable of lifting large loads under demanding conditions. These forklifts are often selected for: 

• Manufacturing plants 
• Industrial storage yards 
• Work environments requiring rugged durability 

Their stability and load control help keep both operators and materials safe.

A Complete Material Handling Partner

Selecting the right forklift involves evaluating key factors such as:

• Lift Height Requirements: warehouse racking, trailer heights, or storage levels 
• Operating Environment: indoor, outdoor, or mixed 
• Aisle Widths and Turning Space: especially important for warehouses
