Electric Forklift Truck FB-RZ

The new FB Series – engineered to provide the perfect combination of power, speed, increased battery life and clean performance

In releasing its new FB Series, Yale engineers have worked closely with customers to develop a range of counterbalanced electric riders that are able to thrive in demanding applications.

Performance, reliability and low cost of ownership are all important factors in running a forklift truck fleet, and the new FB range delivers on all these fronts.

Innovative features such as regenerative braking, synchronised and power assist steering and automatic speed control all improved productivity while a host of ergonomic and safety features ensure the FB will also be a favourite with operators.
